Greendale Nutrition Services provide a variety of healthy choices to students.  Menus are planned based on the guidelines prescribed by The Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010.  Choices include more fruits & vegetables, whole grains, and low sodium/lower saturated fat entrees.  Students are required to choose at least 3 of 5 meal components including a fruit or vegetable for the Meal Deal.  Students who choose to not build a meal based on these guidelines will be charged a la carte prices for their choices.

All of our a la carte items offered to students meet the nutrition standards established by The Smart Snacks in Schools and The Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010.  A complete list of a la carte items and prices is currently being updated and will be available soon.

Greendale serve style is called Offer versus Serve or OVS.  Offer versus Serve is a concept that applies to menu planning and the meal service.  OVS allows students to decline some of the food offered in a reimbursable lunch or breakfast.  The goals of OVS are to reduce food waste and to permit students to choose the food they want to eat.  Due to the fact that students may choose fewer selections under OVS, guidance is provided on what constitutes a reimbursable lunch and breakfast.  A food item is a specific food offered within the three food components.  The Five components of a healthy lunch  are offered: milk, fruits, vegetables, proteins and grains with strict limits on saturated fat and portion size. Under OVS, the student must select three food items, including at least 1/2 cup of fruits or vegetables or a combination of fruits and vegetables, to have a reimbursable meal.  Under OVS, all students must be allowed to decline up to 2 components.
