Food Supply Shortage Affects Cafeteria Menus

Many may have noticed that the breakfast and lunch menus we publish are not quite the same as the meals that are actually served. There is a good reason for this, and it has nothing to do with mistakes on our end. You may have read about food shortages on certain items. Chicken seems to be the one everyone has heard of. Schools are not immune to the shortages, and must constantly adjust. Sometimes when our food order arrives, items are not included or substitute items are included. Most times, the items are of the same food category, but not necessarily the same. For example, we may order chicken nuggets but receive chicken strips. Or we may order regular sized donuts but receive mini donuts. We make every effort to have our menu include the food that we list even if it is not in the same form that we say (nugget vs. strip). We know some students are picky eaters and we also know that many parents/guardians check the menu the evening before so they can decide whether or not to pack their child a lunch. We apologize if our substitutions cause a disruption. We pledge to make sure all students who want a lunch are able to get one that reflects what is on the menu to the greatest extent possible.
