The Food Service Department knows and understands that children who eat well-balanced, nutritious meals do much better in school. We use the highest quality products to make fresh meals. Each school day we provide healthy and affordable meals. Under the guidelines of the United States Department of Agriculture guidelines (USDA) breakfast provides over ¼ and lunch provides over ⅓ of a child's daily nutritional requirements.

Students are encouraged to make healthy food choices. We provide numerous options each day throughout all of the grade levels, from fresh fruits and vegetables to low fat meats. To help meet the very important nutritional needs of a growing student, we have planned the elementary, middle, and high school menus to accommodate diverse taste buds.
We also have the Offer Versus Serve program in all of our schools. Offer Versus Serve Program allows students a choice for their meal components at each meal. The student must take three of the five food choices that include a milk, meat/meat alternative, fruit, vegetable, and grain. At the elementary level students are offered entrée hot pack, a salad bar, along with a variety of milk choices. Students are required to choose at least 1/2 cup of fruit and/or vegetable as part of their meal.
Nutrition Secrets
All of the food prepared for the schools is made by Food Service staff that have been trained through the National Restaurant Association ServSafe Course. We value and believe in providing high quality, safe, and tasty food to all students. We have numerous secret recipes to provide nutrition and promote healthy eating which include:
- Meat in entrees is often turkey based, which are lower in fat
- A variety of fruits and vegetables are provided each day to all students K-12
- A choice of fat-free (skim) milk is offered to all students K-12
- Breakfast breads and all other grains are whole grain rich
- Foods are prepared by cooking, baking, or steaming, a healthy alternative to deep frying
