Food Service Program

 
USDA Free and Reduced Lunch - School Meals Program
 
The National School Breakfast Program feeds 10 million children each day, and the National School Lunch Program feeds more than 30 million students. With so many children receiving as much as 50 percent of their daily caloric intake from school meals, it is vital for schools to provide nutritious food alongside the best possible education for the success of their students.

Metz Culinary Management - Your child’s nutrition is our top priority.

Healthy eating habits start early. We’ve been a leader in nutrition by establishing programs that enhance the well-being of students, faculty and staff.

Our menus are designed to encourage healthy eating and promote nutrition education. We design programs that get students involved with the food they eat, whether they learn about growing, selecting, or preparing it.

We look to provide your students with a friendly, welcoming environment where they can recharge and refuel. We’ll do our part to contribute to top performance in the classroom.
