Crestwood Food Service;
is a self supporting department within
the Crestwood School
District that is dedicated to nutritional excellence for our Crestwood
students, thereby
providing enhancement and support to the educational process. Our motto
is "NOT your
typical school food service:" Our goal is to supply exceptional meals at
an affordable price
while providing fast, friendly and personal service. Crestwood food
service uses no taxpayer
dollars to operate, in fact we contribute a substantial amount to the
district general fund!
Free Reduced Meal Applications
All enrolled households will receive a free! reduced meal application in the
mail on or around

district board office

household.
Both breakfast and lunch are available to qualifying students.

Still Hungry?
Crestwood food service has a new
procedure which allows students "second
and more" helpings of fresh fruits and vegetables. If your student is still
hungry after a
serving of bread, protein, fruit, vegetable and milk they can receive
additional helpings of
fresh fruits and vegetables, free! You can find nutrition Information from
USDA on school
meals here: http://www.fns.usda.gov/fns/Default.htm
including the "My
Plate" project
where students can learn about balancing calories, colors and portion sizes
to fit their
nutritional needs.
Don't Sit Still!
Students can achieve their best
performance by combining
good nutrition
with physical activity. Two of the most Important factors that lead to a
healthy lifestyle are
choosing a healthy diet and being physically fit. When your student's
nutritional needs are
met it is easier to focus and learn. When they are physically fit they are
more alert, more
positive and enjoy a better quality of life.
