Our Mission
It is our mission to make a significant contribution to
the general well-being, mental and physical capacity, and learning ability of
each student and afford them the opportunity to fully participate in the
education process. This will be achieved by providing students with wholesome,
nutritious and appetizing meals, served in a courteous manner, in a sanitary
and pleasant dining environment.
This mission will be pursued in the most efficient and cost effective means
possible, and according to the regulatory and policy guidelines of the National
School Lunch Act, Pennsylvania Departments of Agriculture and Education,
Philadelphia Department of Health, and the School District of Philadelphia.
