Hello Lakota Families!!!

Many of you may have already heard that the USDA has continued our waivers for the 2021/2022 school year.

So what this means for us is that breakfast and lunch will be at no cost next year also. Any money that is in student accounts will not go anywhere. It will stay in the account unless extras are purchased. Next year, we plan on bringing back the items that we used to sell; baked chips, low fat ice cream, cookies, etc. 

If you have any questions, you can email me at mguzman@lakotaschools.org or call 419-986-6628 or your school office and ask for the cafeteria.

Thank you,

Michelle Guzman
