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 .
