Lunch Meal

Laramie County schools observe "offer vs. serve."  Students may select at least three of five food items offered, for a complete meal but one of the three must be 1/2 cup of fruit or vegetable.  The items offered vary daily so it is important to check menus often.  Secondary schools offer several items daily in addition  to regularly menued items.  A variety of fruit and vegetable offerings are available daily.  Students may also select a choice of milk daily.  We offer 1% white and skim chocolate and white milk daily.

Prices:

• Elementary schools $2.75

• Junior and High schools $3.00

• Adults $4.25

• Reduced Priced Lunches:  $0.40

Health Bars

In addition to the entreés listed on the lunch menu, students serve themselves from our Health Bars.    The Health Bars are designed to emphasize foods that support MyPlate. Each day on the Health Bars, students can select from a variety of fruit and vegetables.  Low-fat dressing is served as the veggie dip. For example, the choices on the Health Bar may include baby carrots, frozen fruit cups, or bananas. Students are encouraged to take what they can eat from the Health Bar.
