About the Program
The number one priority of Mt. Lebanon Schools District’s Food Service Program is to provide nutritious, well-balanced meals to all of its students with the focus on quality, variety and appeal.
The menu’s are designed to meet the federal guidelines of the National School Breakfast and School Lunch Program and must be in compliance with the Nutritional Standards and the appropriate nutrient and calorie levels for the ages/grades of children as set forth by USDA.
Even though the High School is not on the federal school lunch program,all meals served in the District must follow the most recent recommendations from the USDA Dietary Guidelines for Americans.
In an effort to promote a healthy environment, all food items are oven-baked including french-fries. 75% of all sandwiches are served on whole grain rolls, a majority of breaded items are whole grain such as chicken patties and nuggets, garden burgers and meatless entrees are offered daily, as well as a minimum of 3 fruit choices and 3 vegetables choices everyday.
Good nutrition is essential to growing children. The food service staff is dedicated to helping develop healthy eating habits for everyone in the district.
Your comments and questions are always welcome.
