FEDERAL SCHOOL LUNCH/BREAKFAST PROGRAM

Glendale Union High School District offers a variety of foods for breakfast, lunch and snacks to the high school students at all nine campuses. The district also participates in the National School Lunch and Breakfast Programs, which allows us to offer discounted meals to eligible students. Discount Meal applications are available at the school cafeteria or from the school secretary. 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.

WHY EAT AT SCHOOL?

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.

PAID STUDENT WORKER PROGRAM

To help our students, we have a Paid Student Worker Program where students work twenty minutes or more, earning a wage plus getting a meal.

Our expectations for the students are reliability and a pleasant willingness to work. In return we provide on-the-job experience in commercial food preparation, sanitation, customer service and cash handling procedures. If you know a student who might be interested in working for us, please contact the school's cafeteria manager.

MENUS

In the operation of the child feeding programs, no child will be discriminated against because of race, sex, color, national origin, age or handicap. If you believe you have been discriminated against, write to the Secretary of Agriculture, Washington, D.C. 20250.

The following menu items are an overview of what is offered at all the schools in the district. Each school will vary in what is offered daily.

CATERING

To simplify menu or food needs for your group, we have expanded our 'extra-curricular' food serving activities. We now do more than just breakfast and lunch.

• Need sack lunches for a trip?
• Need desserts or goodies for a meeting?
• A continental breakfast for your group meeting?

We want to be available to meet all of these and additional food-related needs.

Contact your cafeteria manager or the District Office Food Service Department for selections and details.

NUTRITIONAL INFORMATION

To address nutritional awareness, we have the ability to calculate the nutritional values of our menu items. Feel free to give us a call if you have any specific nutritional question regarding the items we serve.
 

CLUB FUND-RAISING VENUES

To help clubs and organizations, we have our Campus Cart Program and various other fund-raising venues. If you sponsor a club or organization and are looking for fund-raising projects, please contact your local cafeteria manager. We can make fund-raising projects for your group as simple as eating an Oreo - once we determine what twist it takes, it's all goodies!
