For example, students of all ages have tried kale, now know what edamame and chick peas are, and absolutely love seasonal asparagus. Schools made stromboli (a brand new menu item), macaroni & cheese, spaghetti sauce, mediterranean and chicken salad pitas are just a few of our items that all meet dietary regulations and are prepared by our food & nutrition staff on site.

Our elementary schools will begin phasing in salad shakers.
