Sodexo provides the food service at Pine-Richland School District, adhering to the USDA guidelines, the new Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act (HHFKA), and the Alliance for Healthier Generations snack guidelines. 

 

Changes are in effect for this school year as required by the HHFKA/USDA regulations.  Many of the requirements were already in place last year, like adding whole grains and fat free flavored milk. Your student may see additional changes.

A lunch meal is comprised of five food components.  They are Meat/Meat Alternate, Grains, Vegetables, Fruits, and Milk.  Each student must select at least 3 of the food groups and one of the three must be a fruit or vegetable in 1/2 cup serving.  These regulations provide for age appropriate nutrition.  Please help your student by encouraging them to take the fruit or vegetable serving for the meal price of $1.80 for K-6 and $1.95 for grades 8-12. 

 

At Sodexo we believe that healthy meals are key to a great learning environment, so we strive to go beyond government guidelines. Encourage your students to participate in school meals programs and include vegetables and fruit in their selections for a delicious healthy meal.
