• Our Mission: 

    We make a difference in the lives of our students by ensuring they are prepared for learning by:
    • Providing delicious, fresh, high quality food
    • In an environment that honors their needs and differences
    • By adults who are hard working, self motivated and student focused
     
    We believe in:
    • Exceeding national standards when creating culturally responsible meals and menus;
    • Identifying resources to increase access to healthy food; and
    • Providing effective and efficient service in a family centered environment.
