WHAT MAKES A SCHOOL LUNCH A MEAL?
All EHPS Schools participate in the National School Lunch Program.
A EHPS Student Lunch includes a choice of entree, self-serve sides (fruits and vegetables), milk and juice. Learn more with this helpful sign.
All EHPS Schools participate in offer versus serve, allowing students to choose which items they would like to take or decline.
A student must choose 1/2 c. fruit or vegetable serving with two other food groups (protein, grain, dairy) to be charged for a student meal.
If a student does not take the required number of items to make a meal, the meal may cost more than the student meal price because each item will be
charged at A la carte prices.
Total fat averages no more than 30 percent of calories over the week.
Saturated fat averages no more than 10 percent of calories over the week.
Students may select second entrees, or "doubles," as they come through the line. Additional entrees are charged at A la carte prices. The student must have the funds to cover the second entree.
1 percent white and chocolate milks are available.
Juice selections are 100% Fruit Juice
Additional juice and milk may be purchased at A la carte prices.
Adults are welcome to join us any time for lunch. The adult and guest meal price is $4.25-$5.00.
