All food served by our school food service meets or exceeds the guidelines adopted by the State of Nebraska Department of Education. This includes appropriate portion sizes and the following nutritional guidelines.
Care is taken so that students entitled to free or reduced lunches are served and treated the same as all lunch program users. No child is refused lunch due to the lack of ability of parents to pay for it.
Food service personnel take recommended seminars and classes dealing with subjects on nutrition, health, and safety.
The school kitchen facility is annually inspected by an inspector from the State of Nebraska, Department of Agriculture, and Bureau of Dairies and Foods.
Vending machines are not used during the school day. A juice and water machine is available for healthier choices.
Classroom teachers encourage healthy snacks. Soda or carbonated beverages are not allowed at snack or lunch time.
Efforts are made to include healthy snack choices for classroom celebrations, parties, and field trips.
The concession stand for sporting events serves healthy snack alternatives, such as fruit, popcorn, and water.
