Our mission is to nourish minds and bodies so students can focus, learn, and thrive.<\/p>\n<p>Did you know? Every time a student participates in our breakfast or lunch program, it directly supports our ability to offer higher-quality, freshly prepared meals. Increased participation means increased funding \u2014 and that funding is reinvested right back into higher quality student favorites on our menus.\u00a0<br \/>We\u2019re working hard to replace highly processed items with fresh, scratch-made recipes, and we\u2019d love your help. A 10% increase in participation would make a big difference in what we can offer our students.<\/p>\n<p>Even if your student brings a lunch from home, they can still grab a milk, fruit, or vegetable \u2014 and it counts as a meal. That small step makes a huge impact.<br \/>Encourage your student and their friends to meet for breakfast every day next week and beyond. It\u2019s a fun way to gather, connect, and start the day together.<\/p>\n<p>Help us help you \u2014 every meal matters!<\/p>\n<p>MONDAY 3\/2<br \/>PARFAIT CUP WITH CENTRAL KITCHEN FRUIT COMPOTE<br \/>Fruit Compote: Our all-natural mixed fruit compote is served all year long and made with natural sugars from real fruit. We rotate a variety of fruits including peaches, strawberries, pears, pineapple, apples, mandarins, and blueberries- sometimes creating a beautiful lavender color from the berries. It&#8217;s a fresh and flavorful way to start the day.<\/p>\n<p>TUESDAY 3\/3<br \/>CENTRAL KITCHEN PORK GRAVY &amp; BUTTERMILK BISCUIT<br \/>Breakfast Pork Gravy: Saving the best for last &#8211; this year we introduced a hearty pork breakfast gravy. Using over 700 pounds of breakfast sausage, our team prepares this comforting recipe from scratch, blending savory sausage with butter and milk to create a warm, satisfying addition to students&#8217; morning plates.<\/p>\n<p>WEDNESDAY 3\/4<br \/>CENTRAL KITCHEN PUMPKIN LOAF<br \/>Seasonal Loaves: Throughout the school year, our team bakes seasonal scratch-made loaves, including cinnamon spice loaf and pumpkin loaf.

The eggs are cooked in our combi ovens to a perfectly fluffy finish and delivered fresh to school sites, ready to fuel students for success. Seasoned Potatoes: This year, we introduced seasoned breakfast potatoes to our menu. Nearly 2,500 pounds of russet potatoes are washed, prepped, diced, partially cooked in our ovens, and seasoned to perfection. It&#8217;s a farm-to-fork addition that brings hearty flavor to the breakfast line.<\/p>\n<p>FRIDAY 3\/6<br \/>CENTRAL KITCHEN PEAR OATMEAL ROUND<br \/>Oatmeal Round: Our scratch-made oatmeal rounds are prepared with 100% whole wheat flour and whole grain oats.
