The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Minnesota Department of Education (MDE) recently announced a Summer Electronic Benefit Transfer (S-EBT) program to begin in the summer of 2024.

The S-EBT program provides families with school-aged children eligible for the free or reduced-price category from an approved application $40 per month per child ($120 total) during the summer months to purchase healthy foods with funds on EBT cards.

Students must have an approved Application for Educational Benefits by May 15 to receive the benefit. Please ensure that your correct contact information is updated in ParentVue prior to that deadline as well.

"Metro by T-Mobile is committed to bridging the digital divide for students in kindergarten through 12th grade across the country, through their Project 10Million initiative. This year, through our partnership with Metro by T-Mobile, and as our National Internet Connectivity sponsor, we are supporting teachers and their classroom by sharing Project 10Million with them. Through the program, qualifying students receive FREE mobile hotspots that provide FREE internet access in the classroom and at home for FIVE years.

The Digital Divide, defined as the gap that exists between those who have reliable internet access and devices and those with very limited access or none at all, impacts 1 in 4 students across the country. This equates to between 15 to 16 million students K-12 who aren’t able to access class during days of e-learning or for homework.

Through Metro by T-Mobile’s Project 10Million, students kindergarten through 12th grade can receive access through the click of a button—it’s that easy—and important."

Soccer Program – After School and Evening Options

This soccer program provides an organized, entertaining and educational sports experience. We believe youth sports should be about more than skills and scores. While teaching kids to play the sport is important, we also develop character by teaching sportsmanship values and celebrating players who demonstrate these values. The mission is to help kids succeed in life through sports.
