In an effort to enhance our Food Service program and offer students
friendly and age appropriate food items you will see some changes in our
menus and offerings beginning in April. (MORE)
Quality nutrition,
quality service, quality food
Did you know that students who are well
nourished are shown to have increased problem-solving abilities, better
memory, stronger verbal fluency and more creativity?
That is a key reason why the City School
District of Albany makes every effort to provide students with
nutritious and tasty meals during the hours they are in school. This
includes breakfast in the morning, lunch in the afternoon and, in some
schools, an after-school snack serving during extended-day programs.
Information regarding the use of
pork and school meals:
Food Services serves turkey based cold cuts. The bologna,
ham and salami are made from turkey, no pork products added. Hot dogs are 100
percent
beef. When pork is served we will offer a turkey equivalent as an
alternate. When we serve real ham or hots with pork it will be reflected
as such on the menu.
Also new for 2007-08, all hamburger and hot
dog buns will be 100 percent whole grain.
Fast facts about our
Food Service program
The City School District of Albany services approximately 2,000
breakfast and nearly 7,000 lunches every day.
The program is entirely self-supporting,
meaning that the cost is fully covered by a combination of student fees
and a la carte sales.
