About Our Lunch Program
The School in Rose Valley community is aware of how much good health and proper nutrition contribute to a child's well-being and ability to learn. Therefore, we are committed to serving nutritionally balanced meals. We strive to use a limited amount of processed foods, especially those containing white flour, salt and sugar. We buy locally and use organic products whenever possible. The meals prepared are well balanced Type A School Lunches, which are usually 3/5 vegetarian and 2/5 fish or meat weekly. A vegetarian alternative is available on fish or meat days, and may include marinated tofu, soy burgers, or beans. We provide fresh vegetables, fruit, milk, and soy milk daily. Our intention is to provide menus with optimum appeal, variety and nourishment.
Nearly all lunch items are made from scratch by our dedicated chefs. Our family-style meals in classrooms foster community and provide children with encouragement to try new foods. Our lunch menu offerings include:
- chicken or vegetable pot pie
- bean burritos
- "breakfast for lunch:" pancakes, eggs, and/or sausages
- chicken fajitas, chicken patties, BBQ chicken or stir-fry
- grilled cheese and tomato soup
- "make your own" baked potato bar
- tuna or turkey hoagies
- pizza bagels
- pasta: spaghetti, baked ziti, homemade mac & cheese, stuffed shells, pesto pasta
- homemade spinach and cheese quiche
- chili & cornbread
- organic brown rice as a side-dish
- homemade meatloaf with mashed potatoes
- Wednesdays: homemade soup & bagels in cold weather, yogurt & bagels in warm weather
