Our team of professionals is ready to meet your child’s hunger for food and health. Our lunchesClick for Meal Magic are planned with three things in mind:

  • Nutrition for growing bodies

  • Foods they love for healthy appetites

  • Prices that are a value to you

How do we do it? Our director and our manager of food and nutrition are continually in the process of exploring fresh menu ideas for nutritional value and appetite appeal. We frequently survey parents and students for feedback on what they would like to see served in our lunchrooms. Our staff encourages students to voice their food preferences and to give us input on what they would like to see offered in the school cafeterias.

Each lunch is prepared to meet the recommended dietary allowance for each of the age groups. Every meal offers a minimum of five items required from the food pyramid:

  • Meat or meat alternate

  • Fruit

  • Vegetable

  • Grains/bread

  • Milk

Students are offered all five components. They must take three of the five offered items from the various food groups to qualify for a meal and to ensure that the meal meets the proper nutrient levels.

Elementary - Grades PreK-5

  • A nutritious and well-balanced lunch is offered daily using a variety of choices from the food pyramid.

  • At least two entrée selections are offered daily, including a variety of fresh salads.

  • Meals are pre-ordered using an order envelope that is sent home weekly. A menu is sent home monthly so that parents and students can make meal choices together.

  • Along with the entrées, an assortment of fresh fruits and vegetables, 100% fruit juices, canned fruits and cooked vegetables are offered daily

  • 1% white/chocolate/strawberry milk is available with all meals.
