    The Child Nutrition Program strives to provide foods that meet or exceed federal guidelines for nutrition while maintaining a moderate price to enable all of our students to take full advantage of the educational process.  Our Child Nutrition Employees make the program work on a daily basis and they are dedicated to the health and well-being of all students.
     
    Students may choose from a well-balanced selection of food items.  Nutritious supplemental items such as extra milk, fruits and vegetables, and menu items or snacks are also available for purchase.
     
    **FOR THE 2022/2023 SCHOOL YEAR, ALL COMPLETE STUDENT MEALS (BREAKFAST AND LUNCH) WILL BE PROVIDED AT NO COST TO PARENTS THROUGH THE COMMUNITY ELIGIBILITY PROGRAM. 
     
    **Based on current federal regulations.
