Lionsgate Academy strives to provide healthy, well-balanced meals for our students. In order to do so, we have partnered with Trio Community Meals. Since Lionsgate joined Minnesota’s Free School Meals Program, an application is not required to receive the free meal benefit. However, filling out the Application for Educational Benefits is still important! Your student(s) may qualify for other benefits like reduced fees at school. Your application may also help the school qualify for education funds, discounts, and other meal programs.

The Free School Meals Bill allows one complete breakfast and lunch each school day to each student at no cost. All items outside of the complete meal are considered a la carte purchases. Payment for ala carte items (extra slice of pizza, extra milk, etc.) can be made by clicking the ParentVue icon at the top of this page or by clicking here.
