All GJSD students receive FREE breakfast and lunch for 2022-23 school year

Johnstown has qualified for the Community Eligibility Provision under the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, which enables every K-12 student in the District to receive a healthy breakfast and lunch every school day this year, at no cost to the family.

Breakfast

Breakfast is available to all students in every building.

In order to meet USDA requirements, school breakfasts must contain no more than 30% of calories from fat, and less then 10% from saturated fat. In addition, breakfast must provide one fourth of the Recommended Dietary Allowances for protein, calcium, iron, Vitamin A, Vitamin C and calories.

Research shows that children who eat breakfast:

  • are less likely to be overweight
  • show improvement on math, reading and standardized test scores
  • establish healthier habits for later in life
  • have fewer absences and incidences of tardiness
  • are more likely to behave better in school
  • consume more calcium, fiber, foliate and protein
