RSU 19 has one or more schools that participate in Community Eligible Provision. This

alternative is referred to as 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 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.

The application requesting economic information supports many programs at our schools which

helps reduce the local tax. Please complete and return the forms. Only one per family is needed.

All students will be served breakfast and lunch at no charge Etna/ Dixmont School; Sebasticook

Elementary School, Somerset Elementary School; Nokomis Middle School, Nokomis High

School. For additional information please contact Director of School Nutrition Lorey Duprey at

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.
