ESPH Video News Available from Child Nutrition & Wellness, KSDE
We encourage you to visit our new website, the ESPH (Eat Smart. Play Hard) Video News atwww.eatsmartplayhard.org. This site provides important information for families about healthy living and shows how Kansas schools are teaching their students to "eat smart" and "play hard". It is designed to share positive information with the public about school food service, physical education and healthy schools. Throughout the remainder of this school year, new videos and photo albums will be featured from school districts across Kansas. There will also be newsletters, recipes, cooking videos and other resources that support eating smart and playing hard.
The ESPH Video News is a great tool for sharing health and wellness information with your students, their families, and patrons. We encourage you to include a link to this site on your district and/or school websites. By doing so, the district will achieve several of the Kansas Wellness Policy Guidelines on Nutrition Education and Physical Activity for "Family & Community". If you have comments, questions, or suggestions for the ESPH Video News, please send an email to Cheryl Johnson at csjohnson@ksde.org or use the "Contact Us" button on the website.

Eligibility of Deployed Military
Deployment of military personnel does not guarantee reduced price or free meal eligibility. For households to be eligible, either the household can be direct certified based on Food Assistance, TAF, or FDPIR, or an application must be completed and determined based on household size and income. For households completing an application for benefits, any member of the armed services who is activated or deployed in support of any military combat operation is still counted as a household member. Only that portion of a deployed service member’s income made available by them or on their behalf to the household will be counted as income to the household. Combat pay is excluded if it is received in addition to the service member’s basic pay; received as a result of the service member’s deployment to or service in an area that has been designated as a combat zone; and not received by the service member prior to his/her deployment to or service in the designated combat zone.

Food Delivered to Schools
Sponsors must prohibit private business enterprises from soliciting, selling, or delivering food or drink items on school property in competition with the nonprofit food service program. This pertains to everyone at the school including students, teachers and administrators. |
