The Wilmington School Food Service Program consists of seven on-site kitchens - one kindergarten, four elementary, one middle school and one high school. The Food Service Administrator's Office is located at Wilmington High School. The Food Service Program currently serves lunches at all school and provides before/after school feeding for the CARES program at the kindergarten and four elementary s
chools. Students may choose from a variety of lunch options including alternate meals at all grade levels. The high school has more choices including a salad bar and a pizza line. The middle and the high schools also have a snack bar with a wide variety of approved snack items. We strive to meet the needs of all students, both nutritionally and socially, by serving meals in a welcoming, pleasant atmosphere. The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) is a federally assisted meal program that provides nutritionally balanced, low-cost or free lunches to children each school day. Our school lunch program complies with the United States Department of Agriculture's food based menu-planning system and nutrient standards, providing meals that meet 1/3 of the recommended dietary allowance for calories, as well as required levels of other key nutrients, including fat, saturated fat, protein, vitamin A & C, iron, and calcium. We are required to serve foods that meet very strict dietary specifications, including limited the amount of sodium in foods, decreasing the number of calories and saturated fats, serving foods that are made with whole grains, and offering an abundance of fresh fruits and vegetables on our menu.
