More Scratch Cooking

The National Focus on Childhood Obesity continues, and we are committed to helping introduce more scratch made recipes to students and reduce the number of processed foods that are served in Shorewood schools.  Our Fall Cycle menu begins this October with some new exciting recipes, and will continue to offer three choices at each Elementary school.   Offering alternate choices gives parents peace of mind that their student will find an entree that they will enjoy, and allow us to introduce new recipes to students. 

Standards for the National School Lunch program have also been modified to include more whole grain, legumes, fruits and vegetables.  Our menus will be changing slightly to accommodate the new standards. 

We understand that changing kids eating habits cannot happen overnight, but we feel it is our responsibility to expose children to a healthier menu, and encourage them to try new things.

Here are some photos of a few of the new entrees you will see featured this fall.

Farm to School

Based on the popularity of our Farm to School Program last year, we have partnered with Catalano Produce company to bring farm fresh fruits and vegetables to Shorewood School District students more often!

We have identified items that can be purchased locally from Wisconsin Farms during their growing season.  Students will be able to see the name of the farm and where it is located when we feature farm fresh products.

We are excited to bring the freshest possible fruits and vegetables and use Wisconsin Family farms as much as we can during the school year.

 
 

Environment Friendly

We are reducing the amount of Styrofoam and paper used in the lunch program where feasible.  We have gone back to reusable silverware at each elementary which is not only better for the environment, but makes a nicer dining experience allowing kids to cut their food easily as needed.  We have also switched the High School and Intermediate School to a paper plate rather than the Styrofoam tray that has been used the last several years.  Unfortunately, we do not have the dishwashing equipment available to make the transition to reusable dinnerware at the secondary schools at this time, however we hope to make the switch as funds become available.
