Children spend 12 years of their youth in school developing minds, bodies, and attitudes in preparation for life. They spend six to seven hours daily in school, influenced daily by the experiences that shape lives and ultimately the future. The Child Nutrition Program is an essential part of the total education provided to our students. Based on the premise that well-nourished students are better prepared to learn, the Child Nutrition & Wellness Department plays a vital role on the educational team of the school.

During the school year, our department:

• Provides an average of 5,000 lunch meals at 8 schools in the district.
• Provides Breakfast-in-the-Classroom district-wide. 
• Provides catering services for special functions throughout the district.
• Has Registered Dietitians available to answer nutrition-related questions.
• Continues to analyze & update menus in order to meet dietary guidelines.
