Morning Nutrition Program | $1.35 per meal
What a great way to start the day! Students have the opportunity to enjoy an early morning meal between 7:20-7:40 am each day. The program offers students a variety of healthy choices each day, with cereal, milk and fruit provided daily, all at an affordable price.

Lunch Program | $2.45 per meal
Our lunches are prepared daily on site by our school nutrition professionals. Lunches include a salad bar, fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grain breads, and milk. Mrs. Zahn and Mrs. VerHaag make a point of getting to know each child, and use lunchtime as an opportunity to teach kids about the importance of healthy eating habits. Parents are welcome to join their children for lunch. Cost for an adult meal is $3.45.
