What is included when a student purchases lunch?

Many parents have asked what is included when a student purchases lunch.

A complete lunch includes two ounces of protein, one bread serving, ¼ cup vegetable and ¼ cup fruit serving and a choice of milk. Daily milk offerings are 1% white milk, 2% white milk, skim milk, 1% low fat chocolate.

The menu is developed with New Jersey State mandates in mind to allow the students to select fruits and vegetables that appeal to their personal preference. A four ounce 100% juice may be taken in place of the vegetable or fruit of the day. An assortment of fruit is offered daily to encourage an increase in fruit consumption by the students.

 

STUDENT LUNCH ACCOUNTS- Stay with your child until they graduate.
