Dining Services

Starting with the 2009-2010 school year, Metz & Associates is the Dining Service provider. Their goal is to serve the freshest and safest foods and offer the students the best food choices while helping to develop good eating habits.

Metz & Associates follows the National School Lunch Program that mandates for school meals to "safeguard the health and well-being of the nation's children". Regulations are followed where lunches provide, on a one week average, one third of the Recommended Dietary Allowances for protein, vitamins A & C, iron, calcium, and calories. Also followed is that no more than 30% of total calories come from fat and less than 10% from saturated fat.

A variety of fresh fruits and vegetables are offered each day. Canned fruit is packed in light syrup. The students are encouraged to take one serving of fruit and vegetables daily. When possible salad bars are available with a large variety of fresh items.

Additionally:

A variety of wheat breads and rolls are offered daily.
The majority of chicken items are whole products. The chicken nuggets are breaded in a whole wheat breading and baked.
Salad dressings are low fat and/or reduced calorie.
No items are "deep fat fried". All potato items are oven baked or oven browned.
Our food items are "trans-fat free" as defined by the state.
No whole milk is offered. 2%, 1%, and Skim are available.
When available, snack items are baked and limited in fat, calories, and sodium content.
Turkey hotdogs are served.

Metz & Associates are partners with Ohio Proud. This is a program from the Ohio Department of Agriculture that promotes Ohio grown, processed, and manufactured goods. Whenever possible we support this program.

Food safety and employee safety are most important. The General Managers have attended ServSafe, a national program that teaches food safety from the point when the food enters the loading dock to when it is served. We also have Registered Dietitians as Nutrition Educators that are available for educational sessions with the students. Our mascot, Commissioner Nutrition, investigates a different healthy concept each month and guides the students with the best food choices.
