Welcome to Robbinsdale Area Schools Nutrition Department. “It’s Time to Eat Right” and our department is committed to providing nutritious, well balanced meals at an affordable price and to promoting the connection of healthy food choices and physical activity to a healthy lifestyle.

Our program is part of the National School Lunch Program and supports our local Wellness Committee.  Our menus meet national requirements for protein, calcium, vitamins A and C, and don't exceed limits on total and saturated fats.  In addition, qualifying students receive free breakfast and free or reduced price lunch.  On a local level we are proud to partner with our district's Wellness Committee and support their work to Eat Well and Keep Moving. 

We continue to improve the quality and variety of foods available on our menus.  We watch food and nutrition trends to appeal to a wide variety of student preferences and have added more ethnic choices, whole grains, locally grown foods, and fresh fruits and vegetables. Watch for three new programs this year that will highlight these improvements.  Click here to read more from Adele Lillie, Child Nutrition Program Director.
