Food Services
We recognize that nutrition impacts classroom performance, so we have designed our menus and food preparation to provide excellent nutrition and teach health wellness. We prepare our lunch menus to provide both appeal and proper nutrition. The variety of our menus ensures that our students get all of the necessary nutrients associated with good health, clear thinking, and a balanced diet.
