| We are committed to serving breakfast and lunch each school day and a nutritious snack on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday when we offer our Discovery Classes. In addition to providing nutritious food, these meals will be served “family style” in our dining room. Tables are set with washable dishes, utensils, napkins and cups. This way of eating builds a sense of community among our students and faculty. It also serves to teach etiquette and appropriate table manners. Our food service is provided by a locally owned caterer that prepares nutritious and flavorful meals.
All children are treated the same regardless of ability to pay. In the operation of Child Nutrition Programs no child will be discriminated against because of race, color, sex, age, disability, national origin, religion or marital status.
In accordance with Federal law and U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) policy, this institution is prohibited from discriminating on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, age, or disability.
