[ spacer ] School Nutrition

The breakfast and lunch programs offered through your school do more than provide a meal and satisfy your child's hunger during the day. They help meet your child's daily nutrient needs and maximize his or her potential for learning. Studies show that eating school breakfast and school lunch is associated with improved academic performance.

School Breakfast

A healthy breakfast is an essential part of being prepared to learn. Yet, today's fast-paced lifestyle sometimes prevents children from eating a balanced breakfast before heading off to school. If that's the case in your house, give school breakfast a try! Learn more about School Breakfast and all its benefits.

School Lunch

School lunch is a convenient and economical option for busy families! In fact, it takes a real balancing act to beat school lunch's value with a bag lunch! Learn more about why kids should take advantage of school lunch!
