Healthy meals equal healthy students. One of the great things about Middletown's school meal program is that parents can be sure their children have an opportunity to eat balanced, nutritious food for breakfast and lunch.

Students are being offered quality Boar's Head cold cuts, all white meat chicken filets and tenders as well as a full-range of whole grain breads, rolls and wraps as part of our Food Service Enhancement Plan. According to Food Services Director Kathy Perry, the plan "offers students higher quality products that are health conscious."

Students have the option to choose from several healthy snacks too, including nonfat yogurt strawberry, blueberry or peach parfaits with granola as well as healthy snack crisps!

A quick reminder: Food & Nutrition Services recognizes that young children often forget or lose their lunch money and need to charge meals during the school year. Student may charge up to three lunches. Students who have outstanding charges will not be allowed to purchase meals or ala carte items until their balance is paid.

Just so parents are aware, if your child qualifies for free or reduced lunch your child also qualifies for free breakfast. Every school has a breakfast program. For more information, please contact the Food & Nutrition Services office at 326-1230.
