Wayne County School System

📣 Great news, Wayne County! 🍽️ Wayne County Schools will once again participate in the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) for the 2025–2026 school year! 🙌 ✅ What does that mean? Every student at every school in our district will receive ONE FREE breakfast and ONE FREE lunch each school day — no forms required! ⚠️ Please note: This includes full meals only. Extras like à la carte items, snacks, or second meals are not included and will still need to be purchased separately. 💡 Why does participation matter? Even if your child doesn't usually eat at school, we encourage everyone to give it a try! Higher participation helps us keep this program going — so your support helps ensure we can continue offering free meals for all students in future years. We’re proud to support the health and success of every student through this important program. 💛 #WayneCountySchools #FreeMealsForAll #CEP #HealthyStudents #EveryStudentEveryDay #EatWithUs
