I'd like to take a moment to introduce myself. My name is Rhiannon Reardon, I am the new head cook. My goals for this school year are to provide a friendly environment for student and adults to come enjoy healthy meals made from scratch. I look forward to serving you and your family.
Strict child nutrition guidelines will be implemented this school year according to OPI regulations. Menus will include whole grain products, a rainbow of vegetables and fruits, meat or meat alternates not to exceed 10 - 12 oz. per week, depending on grade level, reduced calories, saturated fats and sodium intake, as well as, serving milk that is fat-free or low fat 1%. Lactose free milk will also be available for those who bring a doctor's order for the 2012 - 2013 school year.
Please join us for breakfast in the morning. We offer a Grab 'N Go style breakfast that is convenient and nutritious. Of course, you are always welcome to sit and stay awhile too. The Manhattan School District will provide a cold breakfast program this school year from 7:30 am to 8:30 am in the lunchroom. This will include cereal, milk and fruit. The cost of a K-12 student's breakfast is $1.25. An adult breakfast is $1.55.
Lunch prices will remain the same as last year. Hot lunch for a grade K-6 student is $2.00, for a grade 7-12 student it is $2.25 and for an adult lunch it is $3.25. Thank you for you patience and cooperation. Also please see the link to the Free and Reduced meals application on this page and in the monthly newsletter.
To receive Free or Reduced Price meals for your children, you must complete an application and return it to the school—EACH SCHOOL YEAR. Please read the instructions on the back of the application carefully. We cannot approve an application that is not complete.
