All families should fill out a Free & Reduced School Meals Application to see if they qualify for free or reduced meal pricing. The USDA has not extended the pandemic related food service program waivers for the 2022-23 school year. This program previously allowed The Graham Family of Schools and other school districts to provide free lunches and breakfasts to all students since the spring of 2020. Please complete the application and return it to the front office as soon as possible. The GEMS front office is open Mon.-Fri. 7:45am-4:30pm. Click here to print complete the application. The GEMS front office is open Mon.-Fri. 9:00am-3:00pm. Please contact Tamara Jones at [email protected] with any questions.
