☀️ Summer is here, and school is out—but healthy meals don’t stop! ☀️

We are so excited to kick off our Summer Meals Program starting this Monday! 🍉🥦

🎉 BIG NEWS FOR THIS SUMMER: We have a brand-new meal site opening up at Oaklawn Elementary! This new location is specifically here to make sure kids stay fed all week long—it will be open every Friday and on all the days that summer school is not in session.

No hoops to jump through, no registration required—just free, nutritious meals for kids and teens all summer long.

👇 Check out the image below for all the details on our new site, locations, dates, and times. 👇

The past two days have been filled with activities, as we observed America's 250th year with a special meal consisting of brats, hot dogs, fruits, veggies, and homemade Apple Crisp. Today, a celebratory breakfast was provided for our 8th graders, and end of year picnic lunch for students and families with homemade sloppy joes crafted from grass-fed beef sourced locally from Bleaser's Farms. We are grateful for the chance to serve your children and appreciate their presence this year. We hope you have a wonderful summer and look forward to serving you during summer meals.

🍕We had Smart Mouth Pizza in today for a taste test with our high school students.
If you tried it, and liked it BETTER than our current pizza, can we see a 💗

The high school brought the sandwich topping station back. We don’t usually offer pickles because of our strict nutritional requirements. When staff offered to make them homemade, we weren’t going to say no. You know they’re good when students are trying to place orders for their own jar 🫙.
Shoutout to Amanda D for making the kids delicious, fresh pickles🥒 !!!

Yesterday, the High School Nutrition team made the class of 2026 a celebratory meal that the seniors voted for.
Pork Street Tacos & all the toppings, Elotes Corn, Garden Bar, Chocolate Beet Cake, and Milk.
🎓Congratulations Class of 2026, we wish you all the best in everything you do!!

We were so excited to welcome the 2026-2027 Kindergarten families at Wakanda Elementary last night. We were able to show our families what a lunch meal looks like, and treat them to dinner before they learned about the school. And, yes, our lunches look like this every day! 🥬🍉

🧐 We heard our handout link didn't transfer over correctly in our parent email. Here is what that link should have brought you to. Please help these UW-Stout students out with their final project, and complete the follow-up survey- they would be so thankful!!

The nutrition staff felt truly valued today- thank you for inspiring the entire team to recognize their importance 💗

Today, we celebrate our School Lunch Heroes. Join us in recognizing the vital role these team members play every day—nourishing students, supporting learning, and making a difference for every child who walks through the cafeteria doors. We have the very best team of superheroes- thank you for everything you do, every day!

👀 Look at this tray!!!
Today is one of our favorites!! It was our Annual Meatball Pho day, and this is what that meal looks like. The flavors in this meal are remarkably fresh and delicious.
The fresh roasted cabbage, bok choy and carrots were exceptionally good. 🥬🥕🍜
Should this meal be served more often?
