Our Mission

We exist not only to prepare lunch, but to prepare students to make good choices. Making good choices that will lead to lifelong health and well-being.

The Child Nutrition Program has three main goals:

  1. provide healthy options that allow students to practice nutritious eating,
  2. make them student-friendly options that everyone will enjoy, and
  3. make it affordable to all families.
