HEALTHY HUNGER FREE KIDS ACT
This legislation authorizes funding and sets policy for USDA's core child nutrition programs. This means changes will occur to the school lunch offerings beginning with the 2012-2013 school year. The school cafeteria is meeting tough new federal nutrition standards for all schools, ensuring that meals are healthy and well-balanced and provide students all the nutrition they need to succeed at school.
School meals offer students milk, fruits and vegetables, proteins and grains, and they must meet strict limits on saturated fat and portion size. Starting with the 2012-2013 school year lunches will meet additional standards requiring:
- Age appropriate calorie limits
- Larger servings of vegetables and fruits (students MUST take at least one serving of produce)
- A sider variety of vegetables including dark green and red/orange vegetables and legumes
- Fat free or 15 milk (flavored milk must be fat free)
- More whole grains
- Less sodium

Additional Portions
We know that some of our high school students occasionally want a second entre portion. If a student in high school wishes to have a second entre, he or she may purchase the second entre as an a la carte item, at a cost of $1.00 for the additional item. The student may pay cash for the item, or charge it to their lunch account, if there is money in the account
