Child Nutrition
The Child Nutrition programs are managed by the Anoka- Hennepin School District. Meals are prepared fresh daily by our experienced staff who serve approximately 25,000 students every day. The Child Nutrition department operates independently from the general education fund and maintains a self-sustaining budget.
The USDA National School Lunch Program sets the sodium, fat and calorie guidelines for all meals served in our schools. Our mission is to prepare nutritious meals that meet or exceed those guidelines and to create a safe and positive environment for our guests to enjoy their meals and for our staff to work in. We strive to meet and exceed food handling, proper sanitation and safety guidelines and to be fiscally responsible with our budget, to the district and our community.
You can find menus for each of our schools online at ahschools. us / menus or download the mobile app,“ School Lunch by Nutrislice”, in the iTunes or Google Play store or on the Anoka-Hennepin app then click lunch menus.
After school snacks Adventures Plus and many schools participate in the after school snack program.
