About
Food & NutritionAll meals are kid tested!
Our meals and snacks are delivered daily by Beyond Green™. Beyond Green Sustainable Food Partners is a Chicago-based school lunch provider that specializes in scratch-cooked meals and snacks that students want to eat. Beyond Green Partners is devoted solely to providing quality food to children in schools. Their nutritious, fresh food programs increase student wellness, and allow young people to
achieve their highest potential by preparing them to make responsible decisions about their food
and food systems. Empowering children through good food is just the beginning of building a strong educational foundation that will affect generations to come. Beyond Green Partners operates a zero-waste
kitchen where all ingredient containers are recycled, and food scraps composted, by private
companies dedicated to their specialty. We promise a minimum of 50% of food purchases come
from clean food sources.
Beyond Green™ recipes are designed to meet and exceed the USDA Final Rules of the Healthy & Hunger-Free Kids Act, as well as the Illinois Board of Education and City of Chicago Board of Education meal requirements. All meals are kid tested!
All meals are seasonal, and menus will be posted and sent out to parents in a monthly update. See folders below for sample menus.
Please note: The health department dissuades us from allowing food to be brought by children from home unless there is a medical reason. Please furnish us with a doctor’s note if there are any allergies we should be aware of, or if a doctor has recommended your child bring his/her own meal or snacks to school.
