Biscuits and Gravy Day! Students enjoying breakfast with friends!
October Menu Update:
Today, Pizza will be served for lunch. Tomorrow, Bison Vegetable Soup, made from scratch will be the main lunch entree. We are excited to try this new menu item using our own local Bison Bluffs Farms bison meat.
To help streamline our breakfast service and move toward the goal of more scratch-made options, we will no longer be offering cereal as a choice each day. The goal for our meals in the menus to come will include a variety of fresh fruits, whole grains, low-fat dairy, and protein-rich items. Our motivation is to provide meals that not only taste great but also help boost energy and concentration throughout the school day.
We encourage you to support this initiative by talking with your children about the benefits of choosing healthier options. Together, we can ensure that our students start their day with the fuel they need to succeed. Thank you for your continued support!
