WELCOME BACK to school for the NEW year!

The Food Services Department takes pride in offering delicious, healthy breakfasts and lunches to students on a daily basis. We recognize that nutrition plays a role in building strong bodies and minds, and so we stress the importance of nutritious meals and good eating habits. We also want families to know that we sometimes have to make changes to our monthly menus due to the availability of specific items from our food supply vendors. We have new things coming to the kitchens at GMRSD!

We also encourage our parents and students to take advantage of the FREE breakfast and lunch that are offered at ALL GMRSD school this school year.  Our job is to feed the kids of the community to the best of our ability.  Click on this link for a video of how School lunch doesn't just make kids better kids -- it makes those kids into better adults. Our country's soldiers, journalists, judges, chefs, pro athletes and pilots were all once students being powered by school meals.

Please note that due to staffing shortages some of our menus are limited.  Please reach out to Molly Brooks Food Service Director if you are interested in helping us fill our staffing needs!

Menus-Menus subject to change due to supply issues.  Lunch will be served on half days in all schools.  Please note that meals served the week prior to February and April breaks may differ from listed as we make sure we are using up what we have in the kitchens.

We try to keep the menu as accurate as possible, however supply chain issues make substitutions necessary. We are having multiple items unavailable when ordered, we try our best to modify the menu as items change due to unavailability.  Check with your schools cafeteria supervisor for specific menu details.
