10 BIRTHDAY CELEBRATIONS We enjoy the opportunity to celebrate with our children. Please note that if you choose to bring in treats, the treats cannot be home-baked goods as they must be store-bought and individually packaged with a nutrition label affixed. In addition, all treats will be distributed at lunch and must be brought in prior to the scheduled lunch time. CAFETERIA A menu is available on the county website with breakfast and lunch information. School year 2025-26 we will continue to offer breakfast and lunch to all students regardless of meal eligibility at no charge. These meals will be served under the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP). Through the Maryland Meals for Achievement Program, breakfast is provided free of charge to all students at Fruitland Primary School regardless of meal status. Breakfast is served in the classroom from only 8:45 am to 9:10 am ONLY. Lunches will be served in the cafeteria and students utilizing the free lunch program will need to collect their lunch by walking through the serving line, where Kindergarten through 2nd graders will need to enter their lunch ID. Please work with your child on memorizing this important ID number. All 1st and 2nd grade students are given the opportunity to purchase ice cream daily. PreK and K will have the option to purchase on Friday’s only. It is imperative that they memorize their lunch ID number by the end of the first month of school, to streamline this purchasing process. Payments on accounts can be cash, check or credit card using LINQ Connect. For more information on online payment please reference the food service website available here.
