National School Lunch Week
Celebrate National School Lunch Week with Southwest Local!
At Southwest Local School Cafeterias, we strive to provide “GREAT NUTRITION AT A GREAT PRICE”! Our elementary cafeterias now offer 2 fruits and 3 vegetables every day at lunch. Plus, students can enjoy two fruits daily for breakfast, along with a fresh vegetable. We’ve made some great updates like replacing salad dressing pumps with portion-controlled packets and ensuring that all of our sandwich bread and buns are whole grain white or wheat, with other whole grain items containing at least 51% whole grains.
Among the many choices, students can opt for a freshly made chef salad with cheese, one of our six daily entrées. Other options include a turkey sandwich, a turkey hot dog on a bun, yogurt/cheese/pepperoni/cracker lunchables, peanut butter and jelly on whole grain white or wheat bread, or the entrée of the day from the menu. With elementary lunch priced at just $1.90 and breakfast at $1.00, eating well has never been easier. Free or reduced prices apply for those who qualify, so don’t forget to check out our menu!
High School and Junior School Students: "MAKE IT A MEAL!"
We encourage all High School and Junior School students to “MAKE IT A MEAL” to maximize savings and nutrition. You’ll enjoy a significant savings of almost 40% over à la carte pricing! A full lunch includes any entrée, milk, and access to our self-serve fruit and vegetable bar, or a variety of side options. Our “Fresh Fare” rotating entrée choices include fun themes like “Make it Bold, Make it Buffalo,” “Mexican Madness,” or “Make it Flatbread Pizza.”
Breakfast is also served daily at the High School and Junior School with plenty of delicious entrée options. Students can build a balanced meal at a great value with lunch priced at $2.60 and breakfast at $1.25. Free or reduced pricing applies to those who qualify. Remember, “MAKE IT A MEAL” – IT’S THE BEST DEAL!
Nutritious Snacks That Love You Back!
Our snack options meet the Alliance for a Healthier Generation guidelines, ensuring that only nutritious snacks are available to students. In all of our schools, we encourage students to “CHOOSE THE SNACKS THAT LOVE YOU BACK” for healthy, satisfying options.
Breakfast Provides Benefits—Make It a Priority!
Did you know we offer breakfast every day? Breakfast is served 30 minutes before the start of school for $1.00 at the elementary level and $1.25 at secondary schools, with free or reduced pricing available for those who qualify. Kick-start the day with a nutritious meal to fuel your success!
