In addition to the National School Lunch and Breakfast programs, our services also include an after-school supper program and a summer school feeding program.
We recognize breakfast and lunch are important in contributing to the learning process throughout the school day. Good nutrition is vital to the mental and physical growth of students during the formative years. As such, the Food Service program continues to operate as an integral part of the total educational program.
