CAFETERIA & NUTRITION

Welcome to the Cafeteria!

Thank you for the opportunity to serve your student nutritious choices for breakfast and lunch.

Schools, health agencies, parents, and communities share a common goal of supporting the link between healthy eating, physical activity, and improved academic achievement of children and adolescents. Evidence shows that the health of students is linked to their academic achievement, so by working together, we can ensure that young people are healthy and ready to learn.​
