Food Service
We believe in providing our students with a variety of nutritious options that encourage healthy food choices beyond school.
School lunch provides many students with the healthiest food options of their day, providing one-third of the recommended daily allowance of essential nutrients and calories. Every meal is packed with fiber-rich whole grains, nutrient-dense fruits and vegetables, plus lean protein sources and lowfat dairy products. Following federal nutrition standards, our school meals limit sodium, sugar, calories and fat.
We have a dedicated Food & Nutrition Services team that is not only dedicated to preparing and serving appealing, healthful meals, but we also pride ourselves on providing a worry-free, fun atmosphere where students can take a break and get re-energized for the rest of the school day.
