Packing for the Weekend These backpacks will provide nutritious, easy to prepare, kid-friendly meals to our students on weekends and over long breaks. Kids will each pick up a plain plastic sack filled with food and put it in their backpack each Friday. Please contact Supt. Sampson at 507-263-2680 ext 1405 or [email protected] if you would like your child to participate. 

 

Below are some additional tips to consider:

  • Reach out to suppliers and service providers regarding payment plan options or deferred payment plans. When making these arrangements be sure to get the name of the customer service representative, a phone number, date and time of call and terms of the agreement, preferably in writing.
  • Speak with a loan officer at your bank of choice regarding low-interest or emergency loans.
  • Apply for unemployment insurance.
  • Many prescriptions can be found in a cheaper, generic form. Contact your doctor to see if this is a medication option for you. Many pharmacies carry generic medications that start at $4 and up depending on the medication.
  • There are manufacturers of name brand medications who offer online coupons that you can use in conjunction with your current health insurance to lower the co-pay price of higher cost medications. Please consult with your drug manufacturer’s website for coupon information.
