Beliefs

1. We believe that school meals are an important  component of student success because they:

  • Help develop sound nutritional habits
  • Expose students to a variety of foods
  • Provide healthy fruits and vegetables
  • Benefit students' behavior, including
    • attendance
    • energy levels
    • attentiveness

2. We believe that food safety is a top priority.  We have implemented a Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) Program throughout the District to reduce the chance of a food-borne illness event. Temperatures of all food products are monitored throughout production and service.

3. We believe that it is a privilege to serve the students of Elmore County.

4. We believe that it is our duty to promote fiscal responsibility and ensure compliance in all areas.
