Build Your Perfect Plate: Student Choices at Meal Times

March 24th, 2025

Giving Students Choices For Every Meal

 

Not only do we offer a variety of menu choices every day, but every meal comes with a selection of fresh, seasonal fruits and vegetables. 

 

This selection allows every student to build a plate with the things they like best from all our offerings. Want to load up on jicama and spinach? Go for it! Are pomegranates and grapes more your thing? Help yourself!

 

While the focus of meals can often be on the entree, building a perfect plate is a way of developing a habit of creating full, well-balanced meals that can last a lifetime.

 

We encourage each student to build their plate daily and hope that parents, families, teachers, and staff will join us in encouraging our students to take advantage of the wide range of fresh foods offered daily.
