Ada Schools will continue to provide meals for free to students for the remainder of the year.
However, those who qualify for free or reduced lunches are still encouraged to complete the meal application, according to an announcement from the school.
These applications are used for additional benefits to the family and to Ada school, according to a post on Ada Bulldogs Facebook.
Applications can be downloaded from our website, or by clicking here or a paper copy can be mailed home to you. Parents and caregivers may contact the school office for more information.

DELPHOS - Delphos Jefferson ran out to an 18-0 lead over the visiting Ada girls basketball team and cruised to a 59-18 Northwest Conference win Thursday evening.
Ali and Liv Lindeman combined for 35 points to lead DJ to the triumph. Jefferson dominated the offensive glass, canning several stickback baskets.
Plagued by turnovers, the Lady Bulldogs were scoreless until the 11th minute.
"Delphos is a great team," said Ada third-year head coach Morgan Bass. "They played the best defense we've seen all year.
"We felt their pressure and struggled to find shot opportunities at times," she added.
