Families do not need to do anything to receive these free meals. Your student will be able to participate in the CEP program without having to pay a fee or submit an application. This is a year to year program and district participation for future years will be determined at the end of this school year based on relevant district data. Read more about the CEP program here. 
Future Chefs

Sodexo Future Chefs Competition is a nationwide culinary contest that celebrates student creativity, skill, and passion for cooking. The Future Chefs Competition at North Olmsted is open to all 4th and 5th grade students at Pine Intermediate School, giving them the opportunity to submit their own original recipes. From those entries, six students are selected to prepare their dishes in the central kitchen at the 6–12 campus. Each student presents their recipe to a panel of judges, who evaluate entries based on taste, nutrition, kid-friendliness, originality, ease of preparation, and presentation. The winner of the district competition goes on to compete at the regional level. Roselyn Sanchez, a 5th grader at Pine Intermediate School was the National Champion of the 2026 Future Chefs Competition! Her recipe Mediterranean Burrito Blast won the regional level and went on to compete at the national level where she took the top spot.
