Little hands. Full trays at CPS! ❤️
Are these trays picture perfect? Probably not. And you know what? We LOVE that.

Because every child is different, and every tray doesn’t need to look the same. It’s about meeting each child’s individual needs, encouraging intuitive eating, offering variety, and making sure there’s something they can enjoy.

Fresh fruit. Colorful veggies. Foods they love. Full trays & happy bellies.

📢 Free & Reduced Meal Applications Are Now Open!

We encourage all families who may qualify to apply online at www.myschoolapps.com or visit our School Nutrition webpage for the application and additional resources.

📝 A few reminders:
✅ A new application is required every school year.
✅ Last year's benefits will carry over for the first 30 operating days, but a new application must still be submitted.
✅ No need to wait for your approval letter- while applications are being processed, we'll make sure every CCS student is fed.

Paper applications are also available in English and Spanish through your school's cafeteria manager.

Yakisoba Day is always a hit in our cafeterias! 🍜 Students get to choose their protein along with either vegetable rice or yakisoba noodles, which we batch-cook right on the flattop throughout service to ensure we’re serving up high-quality, delicious food for our students!

And honestly… who doesn’t love a crispy spring roll?!

A great start to the school year for School Nutrition! We’re so happy to be back in the kitchens, serving our students and fueling them for a successful year!

⭐️Did you know that we make our marinara sauce for our school- made pizzas from scratch? And it’s super delicious!

Our community showed up once again for our Annual Back-to-School Community Luncheon, and what a wonderful day it was! ❤️

The food was great, but the fellowship was even better. It was so good to see our cafeteria filled with friends, families, and neighbors enjoying a meal together and catching up. We were grateful for every person who came through the line and allowed us the opportunity to serve you.

The biggest THANK YOU goes to our incredible School Nutrition team. From planning and prepping to cooking, serving, washing dishes, and everything in between, this event wouldn’t be possible without your hard work and dedication. Every year, this luncheon gives us the chance to come together as one team, and that’s something we truly cherish.

Thank you to everyone who came out to support our school nutrition program. Your support means the world to us, and we’re already looking forward to next year!
