Food costs are up! Fuel costs are up! What’s a parent to do? School meals are still a good value and beneficial in so many ways:

· Kids who regularly eat school meals have higher test scores, greater attention spans, better attendance rates, less tardiness, and fewer discipline problems.

· School meals give students the recommended nutrients for their age groups, and meet all established nutritional guidelines.

· No time to make breakfast or lunch? No worries---tasty, healthy meals are already planned and prepared for your child.

· Students can choose from a variety of meals every day. Visit our website at www.ccsd.net/foodservice to view menus and learn more!
