P-EBT benefits – Many SKPS families qualify
Pandemic EBT (P-EBT) is part of the response to the COVID-19 pandemic and provides food benefits to families with children missing free or reduced-price meals due to school and childcare closures. These current P-EBT benefits are from the period of June – August of 2022 and many SKPS families are eligible!
How do children qualify for P-EBT?
There is no application to receive benefits.
- P-EBT is available to all school children who were eligible to receive free or reduced-price
- National School Lunch Program (NSLP) meals or attended a Community Eligible Provision (CEP) school during school year 2021-22.
- P-EBT is also available to all children under the age of 6 who were enrolled in SNAP during the summer months.

We encourage families to learn more about the current P-EBT benefits and how to access reimbursement.
Elementary students compete in Future Chef
On Friday, March 24, 2023, the Future Chefs competition returned after three years for an exciting elementary student competition sponsored by Sodexo. This year’s theme was “Complete the plate with your favorite veggie or fruit side dish”.
Out of 107 entries submitted, nine fourth- and fifth-grade elementary students from across the district competed in this year’s Future Chefs competition at McNary High School, where students competed head-to-head using their original recipes from scratch.
Students were assisted by McNary culinary students to help practice kitchen safety and cleanliness.
Aidan Pollnow, 4th grade Kalapuya Elementary student’s strawberry arugula salad recipe took the grand prize. He took home a cookware set, Fitbit and a mixing bowl set. Aiden’s recipe will be submitted to the Region Future Chef competition.
All participants took home mixing bowl sets, spatulas and measuring spoons as well as a special recipe book with all the recipes prepared during the competition.
