Menu Highlights
October Menu Preview
Okay, so October is shaping up to be a tasty month! We’re planning some really fun and seasonal dishes, trying to sneak in some healthy stuff without the kids even noticing, you know? We’re talking about maybe a harvest-themed salad bar one day, and who knows, maybe even a special spooky treat for Halloween – if we can get away with it! I’m personally crossing my fingers for the chili; it’s my favorite, but don’t tell anyone I said that.

Free and Reduced Lunch Applications
Worried about lunch costs? You might qualify for free or reduced-price meals. You can find all the info and the application on the Trenton ISD website – it’s usually pretty straightforward. If you are not sure, just apply anyway! It never hurts to check, and it could really make a difference. Plus, everyone deserves a good meal without having to stress about it, right?
Meal Prices
For those who don’t qualify for free or reduced lunches, here’s the scoop on current meal prices. Student lunches are and adult lunches are . Keep in mind prices might shift a bit, so it’s always a good idea to double-check. And remember, a well-fed student is a happy and focused student. Is there anything more important than that?
Nutrition Education
Healthy Eating Tips
Getting kids to eat healthily can be a real challenge, can’t it? I’m no expert, but one thing I’ve found that sometimes works is making it fun. Like, cut sandwiches into crazy shapes or let them help prep veggies. And don’t underestimate the power of a good dip – ranch makes everything taste better, or so I hear. Small steps, right?
Featured Recipe
This month, we’re spotlighting a super simple and healthy recipe: Baked Sweet Potato Fries! Just slice sweet potatoes into fry shapes, toss them with a little olive oil and your favorite spices (I like cinnamon!), and bake until they’re crispy. Even picky eaters seem to like them. Give it a try and let us know what you think!
