NutritionWhat is a Lunch?
Elementary menus follow the NuMenus guidelines setup by the Department of Education. This means that our lunches need to fit a nutritional criteria rather than a lunch pattern. The criteria states that the lunches need to be an average of 600 calories and contain 30 percent or less calories from fat. Middle School and High School menus follow the traditional school lunch pattern. This pattern includes foods from the basic food groups such as meat, bread, vegetable/fruit, and milk.
