SUN Bucks 2025
SUN Bucks, also known as Summer EBT, is a program to help families buy food for their school-aged children during the summer. Families will get a one-time benefit of $120 per year for each eligible child to help buy groceries during the summer months.
Children who get SUN Bucks can still participate in other summer meal programs. Receiving SUN Bucks will not affect children or families' immigration status. For families who were pre-approved in January or applied and received a notice of approval since the application opened, benefits were recently distributed as follows (based on the primary applicant’s, not the child’s, last name): May 28 – A to G, May 29 – H to M, May 30 – N to S, May 31: T to Z.
The one-time $120 benefit per eligible child was put onto a new or the household’s existing EBT card. For those that have not yet applied, the SUN Bucks application is available until 5 pm on August 29, 2025. Visit SUNBucks.dcf.ks.gov for more information.

Thank you Heidi, Jesse, Treva and Christy. You will be missed.

Substitute Teachers Needed! Apply at: https://skyward.iscorp.com/scripts/wsisa.dll/WService=wsfinkingmannorwichks/rapplmnu03.w
Summer EBT is available to all Kansas school children who are income-eligible to receive free and reduced-price meals during the school year. While many children were auto-issued for these benefits, plenty more can receive it, but only through an application. The deadline has been extended to October 15, 2024.
Applications must be submitted through the Department for Children and Families (DCF) website at www.dcfapp.kees.ks.gov. If you have any questions or need further assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out to the Kansas Appleseed team at hkottler@kansasappleseed.org.

multiple grades in both Hutchinson and Buhler Public Schools, and has also served in various
district and building leadership roles and provided teacher support and training during the

With moderate snowfall predicted to continue for much of the morning and the roads already snow-covered, we have decided to cancel school for today (1.5.24) to ensure the safety of all students and staff. Decisions regarding activities scheduled for this evening will be made later today. Stay safe and warm.
