School Lunch Program

The Plymouth School District strives to contribute to the general well being, mental and physical capacity and learning ability of students. The district supports wellness, good nutrition and regular physical activity as a part of the total learning environment. By support and promotion of good nutrition and physical activity, our schools contribute to the health of children. Improved health increases student performance potential.

Our meals include:

• Choice of fat-free or 1% white milk, or fat-free chocolate milk
• Fruits and vegetables daily  - fresh fruits and vegetables are now available at all schools
• Whole grain breads, pastas and rice
• Variety of main entrees and side dishes following the Nutrition Standards in the National School Lunch and Breakfast Program established by the USDA

2012-13 lunch prices are as follows: $2.30 for elementary student lunch, $2.80 for middle or high school student lunch and $3.55 for an adult lunch.
