Authorized aid is given to school lunch programs in the form of cash and food assistance. Pinkerton Academy is reimbursed in cash for complete meals served to students and given commodity foods to contribute to the preparation of these meals. A complete lunch includes a choice of entree, chips, vegetables or salad bar, dessert or fruit, and milk. Presently, we are gradually moving toward compliance by serving only reduced fat and nonfat dressings, low fat cream cheese and low fat cheese. Many of the items we serve are naturally low fat such a sour pasta dishes, chicken dishes, and many of the ground beef dishes.
Portions are generous and student satisfaction is high.
There are three different serving lines in the cafeteria. Our most popular items include the breakfast egg sandwich, Belgian waffles with strawberries and whipped cream, and many quick pick up items including donuts, muffins, and bagels. Fruit, milk, and juice are also available to round out the nutritious morning meal. Students can obtain a copy of the monthly menu at the Food Service Office located in the cafeteria. Students at Pinkerton Academy have the option of using their bar coded ID card as a debit card for use to pay for lunches.
