School lunch has a fresh look this fall! October brought expanded choices, new and improved menu items, and a fresh fruit and veggie bar to our cafeteria—all with the goal of offering meals students look forward to eating.

The biggest change is the introduction of two entrée options each day. Students now have more say in what goes on their trays, with the opportunity to choose a meal that appeals to them.

We’ve also introduced new foods and updated familiar menu items to bring more variety to school lunch.

Another exciting addition is our fresh fruit and veggie bar, available to all students in kindergarten through 12th grade. Students can enjoy fresh favorites, explore different foods, and add color and variety to their meals.

For students heading off campus, we’re now offering Grab and Go options for our Running Start and Tech Center students. These meals help them get through the lunch line and on to their next destination faster, with the flexibility to take their food on the bus when needed. Grab and Go is currently available to these groups, and we hope to expand the options to more students in the coming months.

These changes are part of our ongoing effort to make school lunch something students look forward to. We’ll continue listening to student feedback as we explore new menu items and build on the choices introduced this fall.

Thank you to our kitchen staff for the hard work and dedication that have made these changes possible. Bringing new menu items and more choices to our students takes extra planning, preparation, and teamwork, and we’re grateful for the care and effort they put into feeding our students each day.

With these changes underway, we invite families who haven’t explored school lunch recently to take another look. Browse the November menu with your student and choose a day to try something new! Menus are posted on our website, and printed copies were sent home with all K–5 students.
