Nutrition Services
We know that morning routines can be hectic and many kids aren’t hungry when they wake up. That is exactly why we provide breakfast every morning in a way that allows all students to participate, even after the bell.
All FGSD elementary students will have access to breakfast upon arriving at school. If they arrive late, they can still grab a nutritious breakfast from one of our mobile carts that will be stationed in the halls and office to ensure that all students are able to get a free breakfast to start their day.
Breakfast at Neil Armstrong Middle School will continue to be offered via cart service that comes to each individual classroom and allows students to select their meal from the mobile cart after the bell. They have the opportunity during the first 15 minutes of class to eat breakfast with their classmates and get the fuel they need to be ready to learn. Teachers will begin lessons as usual.
Second Chance Breakfast will continue at FGHS where students will have a second opportunity to grab breakfast after their first period and then take it to eat in the classroom or during the long break. Second chance breakfast is ideal for students who are not hungry first thing in the morning.
There are many great things about our improved breakfast program. In addition to having access to a nutritious breakfast, eating with classmates every morning creates a community experience, and it takes pressure off parents and caretakers to provide breakfast in the morning. The No Kid Hungry Starts with Breakfast resource is a great way to find out more about the benefits of breakfast, including how kids who eat breakfast do better in math, miss fewer days of school, and are more likely to graduate high school than their peers who don’t eat breakfast regularly.

Food & Nutrition Program Descriptions
MEAL OPTIONS / DAILY OFFERINGS
Mornings are rushed and we know your student doesn’t always have time to eat breakfast at home. We’ve got it covered with hot, fresh and delicious breakfast options that will jumpstart your student’s day. Does your student need a grab-and-go option? We have bagels, yogurt parfaits, cereal bars and fruit.
Lunch Program
When your student has good nutrition, they will perform better in school, and feel happier and be healthier. The school lunch program includes a range of offerings to ensure that your student has access to the nutritious meals they need to lead healthy and productive lives.
Student achievement starts with nutrition. Well-nourished students perform better in the classroom. Your child’s school cafeteria provides several options for both breakfast and lunch, so you are sure to find something that will keep your child fueled throughout the day. A school lunch consists of their choice of one entree, unlimited Garden Bar (fresh fruits and vegetables) and the choice of flavored non-fat,1% or skim milk. A School Breakfast consists of a student’s choice of one entree, unlimited fruit, and a choice of 1% or non-fat milk. All menus are posted on the district website and Elementary School menus are also available at the front office.
Parents can deposit money and view a student’s account history online at mymealtime.com. To add your child to your online account, please have your child’s student ID number. This can be obtained from your child’s school. There is a link to pay online on the school district’s website along with the menus. Money, in the form of cash or check, may be sent with your student to the school cafeteria and deposited into your child’s account. Parents must keep track of their child’s account. Students may use their funds to purchase second meals and students in grades 7-12 will have the option to buy a la carte items.
