Free and Reduced-Price Family Meals
Students need healthy meals to learn. Forest Hills offers healthy meals to every student every school day; children in households receiving benefits through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) or Ohio Works First (OWF) benefits can receive free school meals regardless of income. Children can also receive free meals if the household’s gross income is within the free limits on the Federal Income Guidelines.
