This menu was served on January 22, 2001. Second, we compared a bag lunch consisting of a turkey sandwich, a small bag of chips, apple, Juice Box, and dessert cake with a school lunch consisting of a turkey sub with mayonnaise, lettuce, and tomatoes, thick vegetable soup, small bag of pretzels, carrot and celery sticks, banana, and milk. This meal was served October 30, 2000. As you can clearly see, school lunch is not only nutritious, it is very affordable. Menu Planning Washington County Schools are unique in the way menus are planned.
Most schools systems have a menu that rotates every so many weeks.
We plan 6 weeks of menus at a time. Each time we start over from scratch. This allows us to quickly use commodities provided by the federal government, as well as listen to student and parent input. We are constantly searching for new products for our students. As a participant in the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Programs, we are required to analyze the nutritional content of our menus.
