Application for Free & Reduced-Price Meals

All families are encouraged to complete the online 2024-2025 Application for Free or Reduced-Price Meal Benefits. A new application must be submitted each school year. Only students with approved applications will receive free or reduced-price meals for the 2024-2025 school year. For questions, contact Kyleen Harris, 785-565-5050, kharris@manhattancatholicschools.org. Click here to visit the MCS Food Service Department page for more information about the Online Application, School Nutrition Programs, and Wellness Policy.

 

2024-2025 School Meal Prices

School meal prices will increase by 15 cents for the 2024-2025 school year. Student meal prices have not been raised since 2019. The price adjustment is in response to an increase in food and supply costs as well as a decrease in federal reimbursement. The goal is to operate our school meal program at a break-even point. Every effort will be made to keep prices as low as possible while providing nutritious meals to students.

Luckey Fall Sports Wrap-up: 

  • The Cross Country teams finished their season at the top of the BVL! Both teams earned the team league championship to be immortalized with the year 2024 on the championship banners hanging in the Luckey Gym. The runners appreciated the guidance of Coach Feldkamp and Coach Irvine in workouts to help set their personal best performances!
  • The A-Team Cardinal Volleyballers’ earned the 2nd seed in the BVL tournament with a 13-2 record. They defeated Washington, then lost a heart-breaking three-set game to Linn in the semifinals. They came back to beat Valley Heights to take the 3rd Place medals. Their 15-3 season record was awesome!
  • The B-Team finished with a 6-7 record, and the C-Team was 4-2-1. The girls improved and had fun!  They thank Coach Hampton and Coach Hund for working with them this year.
  • Lucas Vrbas said he enjoyed playing on the Luckey-BV football team despite the 0-7 season record. He thanked Coach Jared Russell for helping him to and from practice most of the season!
  • It was a great fall season, Cardinals!
