For lunch we offer a selection of entrees (including whole grain rolls, tortillas and bread), fresh fruit and vegetables and choice of low fat or fat free milk. A full meal is at least 3 of the 5 components including at least one vegetable or fruit. Entrees are counted as two components since they include our grain component.
