National School Lunch Program
Kindergarten – 12th Grade
The National School Lunch Program we’ll be doing an “offer versus serve” option which means the students MUST choose 3 of the 5 food groups, of which one MUST be a 1/2 cup fruit and/or vegetable or combination. This will qualify as a reimbursable meal. If a student would still like all 5 food groups they may take them.
High School
The menu will be the same as the elementary/middle school with the correct portions for grades 9-12. The cost is $3.40.
Ala Carte items will also be available.
Menus will be similar to last year's program. We will continue to serve the required servings of protein, grains, vegetables, fruit, and milk.
We look forward to serving the students this year. Please encourage your students to participate in the National School Lunch Program.
