Free and Reduced Meal Applications

For the past two years, the federal government has provided no-cost meals to all public school students without the need to complete the annual Free and Reduced-Price Meal application. The extension of the no-cost meals benefit to all students is expected to expire at the end of this school year, meaning families must submit an application and be approved to be eligible for free and reduced price meals for the 2022-23 school year.

Students approved for Free and Reduced-Price Meals may qualify for additional benefits such as waived or reduced fees for instruments, uniforms, field trips, FCPS class fees, and Parktakes classes.

BMP Volunteer Opportunities

The Parent Teacher Association (PTA) is always looking for people to volunteer in a variety of fun ways!  Please email pta.bmp@gmail.com for information.

The first Thursday of every month, Bren Mar Park hosts a Family Market for community members in need.  We need volunteers to help set up between 3:00 - 4:00 p.m. and to help check in and help families between 4:30 - 6:00 p.m.  This is also a great opportunity for high schoolers to earn volunteer service hours!  Contact Sandra Chetelat if interested.
