Now is a great time to encourage your child(ren) to choose school breakfast and lunch!

  • Age-appropriate calorie limits
  • Larger servings of vegetables and fruits (students must take at least one serving of produce)
  • A wider variety of vegetables, including dark green and red/orange vegetables and legumes
  • Fat-free or 1% milk (flavored milk is fat-free)

When possible and available, Metz Culinary Management is proud to utilize local produce in our program.
