Free Meals for All Students

For several years now all PCPS schools have been covered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Community Eligibility Provision (CEP), so there is no charge for students to have breakfast and lunch. Breakfast and lunch are free for all students. This will continue through the new 2022 – 2023 school year. If you have any questions, please contact our food service manager, Michelle Yborra, at (863) 499-2950. Thank you.

Lakeland Rotary Supports Philip O'Brien Elementary

On June 28, 2022, our Teacher of the Year, Mrs. Vicky Adams, and our Principal, Mr. Charlie Huntley, attended the Lakeland Rotary Club luncheon and meeting. The Lakeland Rotary Club is the generous sponsor of the Know & Grow program at Philip O’Brien Elementary, Crystal Lake Elementary, and Highlands City Elementary for the past two years.

In addition to the iPads presented as part of the Know & Grow event, the Lakeland Rotary Club presented a $7,000 donation to Philip O’Brien Elementary! It is with a most grateful heart that we accept this donation and work to build an outdoor classroom focused on hands-on science teaching and learning for all students.

Thank you Lakeland Rotary!
