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 oper-
ates independently from the general education fund and
maintains a self-sustaining budget.
The USDA National School Lunch Program sets the so-
dium, 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.
After school snacks
Adventures Plus and many schools participate in the after
school snack program.
A la Carte
An A la carte item is any item purchased separately from,
or in addition to, a breakfast or lunch meal. Milk, unless
it is part of a complete breakfast or lunch, is an A la carte
item available for $.50. In order to purchase any A la carte
item, including milk, the student must have money in his
or her account to pay for the item or items.
Online menu information will be available August 2018.
