Greendale Schools | Food Service
The Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act enacted in January 2012 and recently adopted updates to Greendale Schools’ Student Wellness Policy brought changes in our food service offerings in 2012-13 school year. GSD Food Service is certified by the USDA for fully complying with requirements of this legislation. Click here for a news release regarding this distinction. This fall, our school breakfast and lunch menus will include more healthy ingredients including more fresh fruits and vegetables and fewer processed foods. These changes help ensure that school meals are healthy, well-balanced and provide students with the nutrition they need to succeed at school. Changes include:
- Age-appropriate calorie limits
- Larger servings of vegetables and fruits (Students must take at least one serving of produce)
- A wider variety of vegetables, including dark green and red/orange vegetables and legumes
- Fat-free or 1% milk (flavored milk must be fat-free)
- More whole grains
- Less sodium

Breakfast
Research has shown repeatedly that students who eat breakfast are ready to learn. In addition, studies have shown schools that implement a breakfast program see improvement in achievement, attendance and behavior. This is why the Greendale School District serves breakfast at all schools.This program will be available to all children who want to participate. The breakfast program will be set up buffet style to allow the children the freedom of making choices. Each day we will provide the following – fresh fruit, assorted cereal with milk, mini bagels, mini muffins, yogurt, milk and fruit juice. The children will be able to choose 2 items along with either a milk or fruit juice. The cost for this will be $1.50 ($0.30 or free for children that qualify for the free and reduced lunch program) Students can pay for breakfast through the same debit system as the lunch program. Parents are welcomed to join their child for breakfast. Adult cost for the buffet is $1.75.
