Child Nutrition Services
The Prior Lake-Savage Area Schools' Child Nutrition Department provides all students with well-balanced, nutritious, high quality, meal options that promote good physical and mental development.
Child Nutrition Services manages the cafeterias at all PLSAS elementary schools, middle schools and high school, along with the Lake House Café coffee shop at Prior Lake High School.
Child Nutrition Services focuses on serving our students local, nutritious, whole foods. We also provide opportunities for students to learn in the lunchroom by offering samples of new food items with our Try It Tuesday weekly event, hosting a "Meet the Farmer" series with our local partner farmers, offering culturally significant foods that represent our students and many more opportunities for experiential learning, where students can explore new flavors, textures and high-quality foods.
Feeding students healthy meals plays a role in helping them reach their full potential. In addition to fueling healthy bodies, our staff host educational events in our cafeterias throughout the year to educate students about where their food comes from and to create lifelong healthy eating habits.
Prior Lake High School will remain off the National School Meals Program, continuing to allow us greater flexibility in providing healthy, delicious meals and snacks that meet the needs and expectations of students, parents and staff.
This institution is an equal opportunity provider.
