• Lake County School Lunch Breakfast Program
• For busy working parents the school lunch can
  deliver a two fold bargain
• School meals are low cost. The average lunch
  price is 1.75 which includes milk, meat or meat
  alternate, bread and a choice of two fruits or
  two vegetables or one fruit and one vegetable.
• School meals are healthy. Our school lunches
  meet federal guidelines of no more than 30
  calories from fat and less than 10 from
  saturated fat and provide one-third of the
  Recommended Dietary Allowances of protein,
  Vitamin A, Vitamin C, iron, calcium, and
  calories. No super-sizing here. The meals
  served are provided in age-appropriate serving
  sizes, which makes our lunches one of the last
  places in the U.S. where you can purchase a meal
  with the recommended serving sizes!
• BREAKFAST
• With school board approval, free breakfast for
  all elementary school students was started in
  August to help teach students the importance of
  starting their day off right with a nutritious
  breakfast. We serve breakfast to approximately
  49 of our students.
• LUNCH
• Approximately 90 of our students eat lunch at
  school. This is about 800 lunches per day.
• Overall, last year we served 71,832 breakfasts
  and 141,135 lunches.
• Approximately 76 of our students are on Free
  or Reduced Meal Benefits.
• Menus are in the Lake County Banner and posted on
