IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0GCCS offers breakfast and lunch daily to all students. Meals are delivered fresh every day by Julia K Caters, and are served "family style" in the classrooms. GCCS participates in the U.S. Department of Agriculture's school meal program. At the start of each new school year, all students are sent an application for free and reduced meals and are encouraged to apply. Those students who qualify are offered meals at a reduced or no cost. Students that do not qualify for free or reduced meals have the option to pay full price, or may bring meals from home. GCCS will continue to encourage all families to participate in its meal program.
