The Breakfast Program
Breakfast is offered daily in
all schools before the start of
the school day at no charge
to students. A breakfast
consists of: 1) an entrée made
with grain and/or meat/meat
alternate, 2) milk, and 3) two
servings of fruit or juice (limit
of one juice per meal). All
students will be required to take
at a minimum one serving of fruit or juice and two additional items in order
to receive the meal at no charge. A breakfast entrée counts as two items. At
a minimum, a student must select an entrée and a fruit or they may select
two fruits and milk to have the meal count as a breakfast. The maximum
amount of food a student can select at no charge is one entrée, one milk, and
two servings of fruit or one serving of juice and one serving of fruit.
The Grab & Go Breakfast Program
This program provides quick healthy meals for students while in the
classroom. It is available in select schools.
The Lunch Program
Students may select items from each of the following five meal components:
1) meat/meat alternate, 2) grain, 3) vegetable/side, 4) fruit and 5) milk.
Students must take an item from at least three of the five groups to make a
complete school lunch, one of which must be a fruit or vegetable.
By offering a variety of nutritious choices, students can select a meal
made up of foods they enjoy. The menus follow the Enhanced-Food Based
Guidelines established by the USDA and the Dietary Guidelines for Americans,
which assure breakfast meets one-fourth and lunch meets one-third of the
daily recommended intake of calories, fat, proteins, vitamins and minerals for
students.
Everyone has something to contribute.
