We’re excited to share that breakfast and lunch will continue to be served free of charge for all Franklin students during the 2025–2026 school year! Each month, we’ll send home the menu so families can see the options available.
Students are always welcome to bring lunch from home if they prefer. Please pack a small, healthy snack daily and remember:
🚫 No soda or candy allowed in school
🚰 Send students with a filled, labeled water bottle every day
🥜 No peanut products are allowed for the safety of all students
📋 If your child has any food allergies or dietary restrictions, please be sure to include this information in the Family Survey so we can ensure their needs are met.
