Press Release for the National School Lunch Program and National School Breakfast Program


Regional School Unit 1 has one or more schools that participate in Special Provision II or Community
Eligible Provision. This alternative is referred to as Provision II or CEP. All students enrolled in
schools listed below may participate in the School Breakfast Program and the National School Lunch
Program at no charge. Household free/reduced meal applications are not be distributed or received but
similar forms may be distributed by the school to collect household income data for other programs
that require this information, such as Federal Title programs.


All students will be served breakfast and lunch at no charge at RSU1. For additional information
please contact Melissa Cole, RSU1 Food Service Director, 443-6601 x120 or mcole@rsu1.org.

Studies show that children who are not hungry perform better in school. By providing both breakfast
and lunch at no cost to students, we are helping to create a better learning environment.


The school meals that we serve follow U.S. Department of Agriculture guidelines for healthy school
meals. The School Breakfast and Lunch Programs cannot succeed without your support; please
encourage your children to participate in the school meals programs.
