SUN Bucks, also known as Summer EBT, helps thousands of Kansas families with food insecurity feed their school-aged children during the summer months. SUN Bucks serves students who qualify for free and reduced-price school meals or whose household income meets the eligibility for free and reduced-price school meals. Some families will get benefits automatically without applying, while some eligible families need to apply to receive benefits. SUN Bucks benefits will be distributed beginning May 27 for those who have received an approval letter. If a household did not receive a letter from DCF the household may apply online at SUNBucks.dcf.ks.gov. SUN Bucks applications are accepted until 5 p.m. on Aug. 31, 2026, with benefits being issued after eligibility is determined. Families will receive a one-time benefit of $120 per year for each eligible child. SUN Bucks benefit distribution is anticipated according to the following schedule:
Date First Letter of Last Name
May 27 A through G
May 28 H through M
May 29 N through S
May 30 T through Z
I’m excited to announce that the Olpe Stadium will be open this coming Monday for community use from before school hours until around dark each day.
This incredible facility is much more than just a football field. The turf and track create a tremendous outdoor space for walking, exercise, training, and organized activities for students and community members alike. USD 252 is proud to provide a facility that we hope people of all ages will enjoy for years to come.
At this time, the main gate in the southwest corner will be unlocked each morning and locked each evening by school personnel until security cameras are installed, which we hope will be completed by mid-June.
Please note that the track team will be practicing at the facility through the end of May. During practice times, we ask community members to please stay off the track and be respectful of team practices and activities.
As we open the stadium to the public, we ask everyone to help us take care of it:
*No food, gum, or sunflower seeds on the turf.
*No bikes, skateboards, or pets allowed inside the stadium at any time.
*Please clean up after yourself.
*Children should be supervised.
This is not intended to be an unsupervised playground, but rather a place for organized activities, exercise, and community enjoyment.
I'm extremely thankful to everyone who helped make this project possible and look forward to seeing our students and communities enjoy this beautiful facility.
