We are reaching out to remind you that your family qualifies for Summer EBT (Electronic Benefit Transfer) benefits this year based on your participation in the free and reduced-priced meals program during the 2023-24 school year. This program provides $120 in grocery assistance during the summer months when school meals are not available for income-eligible students to receive free and reduced-priced meals at school.
To receive these benefits, you must create an account with the Department of Children and Families and apply for the SEBT.
Act soon, because the form deadline ends on October 15th! You will be asked to provide your name, your child’s name, school, date of birth, and address. You will also be asked to report your household’s income. To apply, you do not need to provide any other documents or information, including your social security number or proof of citizenship. Benefits will be distributed within 15 days of a form being submitted.
More information can be found through DCF’s Summer EBT fact sheet, found here.
*While many families received this benefit through auto-issuance, if you believe your children qualify but have not received this benefit, please apply by October 15th.
If you have any questions about Summer EBT, please get in touch with the Kansas Department for Children and Families hotline at 1-888-369-4777. From there, you can press 1 for English and 2 for Spanish. When prompted, press 5 to take you directly to the Summer-EBT Department.

FFA News:
This week we had our first honey bee harvest. As amateurs we have a lot of room to grow and learn. Nonetheless, we learned a few key concepts…
* Bees are like most livestock animals, they have a personality and are understanding of humans trying to harvest food.
* Beetles can wreck a honey box quickly
* Frames full of honey are very heavy
* The queen is the most important bee around, so take good care of her if you can find her.
Thank you to Mr. Basye for his expert advice too.
