Studies have shown that, through the National School Lunch Program (NSLP), children consume twice the servings of fruits and vegetables and greater amounts of grains and dairy than children who eat lunch brought from home or who leave school to eat lunch.
No super-sizing here. The meals served as part of the NSLP are provided in age-appropriate serving sizes making schools some of the only places in the U.S. where you can purchase a meal with the recommended serving sizes.

Discount Meal applications are only available after July 1 or 30 days before the first day of school, whichever comes later.
A Meal Deposit Account is available to all students. It is a way for parents to deposit money into an account for their child(ren) to use towards breakfast and lunch throughout the year. Applications are available from the school cafeteria.
