New Year, New Us!
In our kitchens, taste buds come first.
We know food, and we're committed to putting the best on that spork. That means great-tasting, locally sourced meals that hit the spot nutritionally. (All while meeting the complexities of state and federal requirements, which is no small feat.)
Together we work to support our students.
We are excited for school year 2023 - 2024 and look forward to the following to help us offer better, more delicious, scratch cooked meals for our students.
- More chef inspired meals from our own, Chef Adrian
- Increasing our locally grown & procured selections
- Adding more freshly prepared menu items
- Facilitating more farm to school events
- Improving equipment in our kitchens
- Supporting the professional development of our food service team
- Continuing to offer free breakfast & lunch to all students
