A well-balanced lunch is served daily in each of the district's ten schools. As mandated by the National School Lunch Program, each lunch offered includes five components: a protein meat or meat alternate, a grain, a vegetable, a fruit, and eight ounces of fat free or low fat milk. There are choices of entrees that are available each day, including both hot and cold selections. There are also a variety of vegetable and fresh fruits and fruit juices to choose from and a variety of cold low fat and fat free milk. While at least five components are offered each day, your child may choose as little as three foods to complete a meal. A MEAL MUST INCLUDE A 1/2 CUP OF FRUIT OR VEGETABLE or the meal will be charged as an ala' carte purchase.
