MCS Child Nutrition Office has received word that its application as a countywide Community Eligibility Program has been approved for the 2021-22 school year. All students in MCS have the opportunity to eat breakfast and lunch at school at no cost through CEP. 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. What does this mean for students? If benefits become available again this year through the Pandemic EBT, ALL MCS families now qualify for these benefits. Marion County is an equal opportunity provider.
Like businesses across the nation, the MCS Child Nutrition Dept. has been experiencing some outs and shortages from our suppliers. MCS will continue to substitute products as possible from our suppliers. If we have to change menus, we work diligently to try to give plenty of notice to students and families. Updates are sent through your child’s school as necessary. We appreciate your patience, grace, and understanding.
Thursday's lunch at East Fairmont Middle will be a bag lunch which will contain a wow butter and jelly sandwich.

Celebrate Freedom Week educates students about the sacrifices made for freedom in the founding of this country and the values on which this country was founded (WV State Code §18-2-9 ). In social studies classrooms, students will be learning of the Declaration of Independence, Emancipation Proclamation, and Constitution of the United States with an emphasis on the Bill of Rights. This includes the environments and the study of historical documents that inspired the founding fathers for the purposes of safeguarding our Constitutional republic.

Parents: Please be sure to review all paperwork that was brought home by your children today. Those need filled out and sent back in to the student's a/a teacher. Most importantly, please make sure that your child knows how they are getting home at the end of the day. If they are riding a bus, make sure they know the bus number. If they are a pick-up, let them know a good location to be picked up at. If you need to change the plans for how your child is getting home, we ask that you call and notify the school as early as possible. Please do not wait until 2:00 to try and make these changes as the office is usually really busy at the end of the day and it is difficult to notify students of these changes that late. Thank you and I hope your children had a good first day and we look forward to seeing them again tomorrow!
East Fairmont Middle Staff has been hard at work over the last week preparing for the return of our students. We can’t wait to see everyone tomorrow morning! Don’t forget charged chromebooks, masks, and water bottles and arrive before 7:10!
