Congratulations
on getting through another school year! Enjoy your vacation time!
It can be challenging to provide healthy meals for your family throughout the summer.
Take advantage of the availability of fresh produce and watch the soda and
candy intake! Some districts offer summer feeding programs, so be sure to
check with your school.
Hopefully, the good weather will encourage you to find time to play and
exercise together as a family.
While you are on vacation, your school nutrition department will be preparing
for the next school year. They will be looking into ways to improve your school
lunch program as they strive to make the school meals experience the best it
can be for your kids.
New Look! Watch for the new and improved schoolmenu.com coming this fall. We
are making it easier for you to get to your menu information and other
