The La Crescent-Hokah middle school students had a Lancer Way assembly this afternoon to acknowledge all the great things our students have been doing these past few months. Here are just a few picks of the activities we did today.
Beginning this summer, Minnesota will offer Summer EBT, the new grocery EBT program for families with eligible school-age kids. The Summer EBT program is an effective tool in the fight against child hunger. Households who qualify for Educational Benefits will receive $120 per child during the summer for groceries. If you have not applied for Educational Benefits this school year and would like to apply, please complete an application via the Infinite Campus parent portal and follow these steps: click "more" in the menu -> meal benefits -> meal benefits application -> follow the steps to complete the application.
