Free Breakfast Offered To Centennial K-12 Students

WARMINSTER, PA —Attention all Centennial students —go eat breakfast. It's free.

The Centennial School District launched the Pennsylvania School Breakfast Program to all students on Monday through the end of the school year.

"We encourage all families to take advantage of this opportunity.," school officials said.

Gov. Tom Wolf recently announced that all Pennsylvania schools participating in the School Breakfast Program will be able to offer breakfast at no charge to all students for the 2022-23 school year.

That means all Centennial students are able to receive a free breakfast, regardless of eligibility.

Daily breakfast menus are available on the district website.

Breakfast will be served in the cafeteria. Interested students should go to the cafeteria upon arrival to school.

Students will need to enter the cafeteria line and enter their ID number on the keypad. K-2 students will receive bookbag tags with their ID number to assist them.

Additional information about food services at Centennial School District, including menus, applications for free and reduced meals, and more can be found online at Centennialsd.org.

If you have any questions, please contact Lori Deni at denilo@centennialsd.org.

Wolf in September announced a $21.5 million plan to provide universal free school breakfast for 1.7 million students across the commonwealth this school year. The Universal Free Breakfast Program went into effect on Oct. 1 and runs through the end of the school year.

Other Lower Bucks school districts, like the Neshaminy School District, launched the program as well on Monday.

Unlike other meal programs, kids automatically qualify for free breakfast regardless of family income. Doing so lowers the barrier to entry and helps feed more kids dealing with food insecurity, according to the governor's office.
