Meals, foods and beverages sold or served at schools meet state and federal requirements which are based on the USDA Dietary Guidelines. We provide students with access to a variety of affordable and appealing foods that meet the health and nutrition needs of students.
To be a part of the education process by providing students with nutritious meals and nutrition education experiences that promote healthy children who are ready to learn.
