Free Breakfast Available For All LMSD Students

LOWER MERION TOWNSHIP, PA — All students in the Lower Merion School District can now get free breakfasts to start their days off right.

The district announced Sunday that students can get "Grab-and-Go" breakfast bags at all schools.

According to the district, the bags contain the items needed to ensure the meal is free.

Students can choose to supplement the bags with an extra serving of fruit or vegetables along with milk and/or juice, and the entire breakfast will still be free.

Each morning, a variety of breakfast bag options is available. Examples include:

• Bagel Bag
• Croissant Bag
• Smoothie Bag
• Low-sugar Cereal Bag
• Hot Entrée Bag

Bags are available at different locations at each school, depending on what’s most convenient for arriving students.

Breakfast may be offered in the cafeteria, from a cart near an entrance, or from a pick-up window, depending on the school, the district said.

While the breakfasts are free, students will still check out at a register once they have their items.

This ensures that cashiers are aware of any allergies and that the district can file necessary paperwork with the government to cover costs.

Advanced registration is not necessary, allowing students to get a free breakfast whenever they choose.

Parents or guardians who do not want their students to have access to these breakfasts should email Karen Pinardo in Nutritional Services at pinardk@lmsd.org.
