Organization
The K-12 Acton-Boxborough Regional School Lunch Program consists of
eight on-site kitchens including six elementary, one junior high school
and one high school. We serve hot lunches daily in all of the schools,
and we plan three different menus monthly to reflect the students'
tastes.
The elementary menu is planned with the choices most
popular to children in grades K-6. The junior high has several
selections. The high school has even more choices. There are four
serving lines including a pizza line, grill selections, deli sandwich
line, entree line, and a fresh fruit and vegetable bar. The main entree
line offers a variety of choices daily such as pasta, taco, salads and
hot subs. All High School lunches include 8 oz. milk of their choice,
choice of fresh vegetables, and fresh fruit. All bread products are
whole wheat: hot dog and hamburger buns and sub rolls. Our sandwiches
are made on wheat or white wraps. The high school also has a snack bar
with a wide variety of healthy snack choices including bagels, spring
water, pretzels, flavored water and breakfast items.
The lunch
program is an integral part of our school system. We are continually
remodeling and updating our cafeterias and kitchens to keep up with the
changing items. Our menus are revised monthly according to food trends
in the food service business. We strive to meet the needs of all the
students, both nutritionally and socially, by serving lunch in a
cheerful, pleasant atmosphere.
