ATTENTION BERRYHILL FAMILIES AFFECTED BY THE GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN

As the federal government shutdown continues, we understand that some families may be facing temporary loss of income. If your household is experiencing a change in income, your student may qualify for free or reduced-price school meals.

Families are encouraged to complete a meal benefits application at myschoolapps.com. The application is based on your household’s current situation at the time you submit it.

Please remember:
You may apply at any time during the school year if your income changes—this includes during a furlough.
Once a student is approved, meal benefits remain in place for the entire school year.
If your situation improves later and you no longer need the benefit, you are encouraged (but not required) to notify Santa Rosa County Food Service.

To complete the application, visit: myschoolapps.com

We are here for our Berryhill families. 💙🐻💚

Berryhill Parents/Guardians... Let the Competition—er, Collection—Begin!

It's that exciting time of year again! The annual Milton vs. Pace Can Drive is here! From Monday, September 29th to Monday, October 27th, we will collect canned goods and non-perishable items to support our local food pantry at First Baptist Church in Milton, Florida. This pantry helps over 16,000 families in our community.

While this event is a friendly football rivalry between Milton and Pace, it also offers a fantastic opportunity for community outreach. It teaches our students the values of kindness, generosity, and service. Remember, every can counts, and each act of giving makes a significant impact right here at home.

Berryhill Elementary has proudly held the title of winning elementary school for many years, and we want to keep our "Can Drive" Trophy! Let's unite to maintain our trophy and title while supporting families in need. Let's make this fun and competitive!
