Free Meals for All Students 2020-2021 Welcome to the Oxford Public Schools Food Service webpage. We hope you find the information you need to learn about our program. We view the school cafeteria as a nutrition education experience, where we teach by example with the delicious and healthy food choices we offer. Our Food Service Director, Patricia Hokanson, and our cafeteria staff are dedicated to providing appetizing, satisfying, and nutritionally sound breakfast and lunches in a welcoming and friendly atmosphere. Menus are planned following USDA guidelines, keeping health and taste as priorities. New menu items are introduced quite regularly, especially salads and new vegetable recipes. Nutrient information is available for all foods served. All of our Food Service staff are allergy, CPR, and ServSafe trained and certified, and take pride in serving carefully prepared food in their clean kitchens.

this program. All funds are derived from the federal and state governments as well as money
collected from students and staff. Federal regulations control the menu
planning. Fat is not to exceed 30% of calories and less than 10% of
calories from saturated fat on a weekly basis. These targets and others
are set to meet RDA guidelines. We will publish a complete meal on
every menu. For every two weeks published you will find we meet all
regulated targets. This assumes your child has made wise choices and is
consuming his/her complete meal. Regulations can only help us offer good
choices. OTHER HELPFUL INFORMATION
