Breakfast now served at the
Elementary School!
Students need a nutritious breakfast in order to effectively learn
during the school day. A Breakfast Program at the Middle and
High School was started last year, and we have expanded it to the
Elementary this year. Students who are approved for Free or
Reduced Priced Lunches also qualify for a Free or Reduced Price
Breakfast. The meal includes an entree, fruit or juice and milk,
and the menu has a wide variety of choices throughout the month.
The Monthly Breakfast Menu is available on the Menus page by clicking on
the link to the left. Pick your favorites and join us for
Breakfast!

This year we have made slight changes to the Fruit
and Vegetable Bar, which is included with every meal purchase.
There has always been a choice of Fresh or Canned Fruit, and Vegetables
offered daily. This year we are including three different
vegetables each day to offer more variety. Bread will be served
when our menu doesn't already include it with the entree.
Salad was always one of the vegetables we have
served, however salad with extra ranch dressing adds more fat to our
diets which offsets the value of eating low fat fruits and vegetables.
Children have become used to getting asked "what sauce would you like
with that" from an early age when eating at any fast food restaurant,
and now finger food with ranch dip has become so popular, that it has
even shown up on pizza! Ranch dressing is used more than ketchup,
and is used to flavor wraps, sandwiches and burgers and fries. As
a company, we at Taher Inc. are trying to impact childhood eating habits
by serving vegetables on our Fruit and Vegetable Bars without dipping
sauce. Elementary students who are not used to eating ranch with
all of their vegetables, have learned to like them without sauces.
They can actually experience what a carrot or piece of broccoli really tastes like!
Older students and adults are more used to sauces and typically use more
of it, and on more items. However, High School students
are also able to make educated decisions when they have all the facts.
So here at Little Chute School District, we would rather encourage and
educate students to make better choices rather than take the options
away completely.


Taher Inc. recognizes foods and eating habits have changed, and we are
concerned about their impact to our customers and the future of our
children. As mindful stewards, we are committed to the health,
wellness, and responsible eating habits of our customers, 4 Life.
With the leadership of our chef council and nutrition & wellness
department, we will incorporate products and recipes that use fresh,
high quality wholesome foods. We pledge to stay on the leading
edge of this charge, now and 4 Life.
