Breakfast Programs

Studies show an increase in both attention skills and knowledge retention when children begin their day with a balanced, nutritious breakfast. Furthermore, children who skip breakfast are at a higher risk for obesity due to overeating later in the day, slower metabolisms and the tendency to choose less healthy food options.

Whitsons School Nutrition offers our school communities a variety of breakfast service options that will benefit their students and support the goals of the school nutrition program. Depending on the school’s individual needs, we can offer breakfast in the classroom, continental breakfast in the café and/or various hot breakfast options.  Under each scenario, breakfast options vary daily and conform to state and federal requirements. We customize our breakfast programs based on each school’s serving times, space constraints and other parameters to maximize participation.

Secondary School Lunch Programs

Secondary school students want more choices, yet they must still be guided to selecting healthy menu options that will cultivate life-long healthy eating habits. At the secondary level, we offer a retail-style food court environment, with many choices from which to select. However, the emphasis is still on fresh, nutritious offerings and positive nutrition education messages. Highlights of our program:

• Delicious meals presented in a vibrant, food court environment
• Fun and fresh offerings marketed under our Signature Series in-house brands
• Increased variety and selection
• Name brand accouterments, such as dressings, condiments and packaged healthy snacks
• Quick and friendly service
