GCS Students Receive School Meals Free of Charge

Students in Greenbrier County will have the opportunity to eat a no-cost breakfast and lunch at school through the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) program. The CEP was enacted as a result of the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act and provides universal meal service to children in high-poverty areas. This is the fourth year for the option.

The CEP serves as an alternative to collecting, approving and verifying household eligibility applications for free- and reduced-price eligible students in high-poverty Local Education Agencies (LEAs). If at least 40 percent of a school’s student population is directly certified for free meal benefits, the entire school qualifies for the option.

“I am proud that Greenbrier County Schools will participate in the CEP program again this school year to help meet a crucial need for many students in our county,” said, Jeff Bryant, Superintendent of Greenbrier County Schools. “We know academic achievement increases when our students are well-fed and ready to learn, and we must provide secure and reliable access to nutritious meals, so all students have a chance to achieve at the highest level possible.”

All thirteen schools in Greenbrier County will participate in the Community Eligibility Provision, allowing the school system to feed 3500 students each day. The 2017 Feeding America: Map the Meal Gap data reports high levels of food insecurity and hunger across the country. In West Virginia, more than fourteen percent of residents and over 79,000 children live in food-insecure households.

Tips for Packing a Healthy Lunch

Here are some tips for packing a healthy school lunch:

  • Choose whole grains: Pack brown rice, quinoa, or whole-grain pita pockets instead of white bread. 

  • Add protein: Beans, hummus, nuts, egg whites, grilled chicken, or lean pork are all good protein sources. 

  • Limit processed meats: Avoid cold cuts, bacon, and other processed meats. 

  • Use healthy oils: Cook with olive or canola oil, and use healthy oils on salads. 

  • Drink water: Drink water, tea, or coffee with little or no sugar. 

  • Limit dairy and juice: Limit milk and dairy to 1-2 servings daily, and limit juice to 1 small glass daily. 

  • Pack a variety of fruits. Instead of fresh fruit, Try fruit leathers or fruit sauces, but make sure they are low in added sugar. 

  • Add a veggie dip: Hummus and veggie sticks are a protein-packed option. 

  • Make lunch fun: Make a kabob by placing sandwich components on a stick. 

  • Make pasta salad: You can make pasta salad ahead of time and add vegetables to make it healthier. 

  • Create a snack station: Create a station with healthy snacks like granola bars, cheese sticks, yogurt cups, or whole grain crackers.
