• Nutritional Standards

    Menus at Cartwright SD are planned using the Assisted Nutrient Standard Menu Planning System. The district offers a variety of meal choices and guarantees all menus meet federal and state nutritional standards. We work to keep sodium, fat, and cholesterol low and fiber, vitamins, and minerals high while still offering foods that kids love. Beyond nutrients, you will notice whole grains, fresh fruits and vegetables, as well as vegetarian options on our menus. Every day we offer three choices for elementary scholars and five choices for middle school scholars. Every child also has the option of fat free or 1% milk and a trip through the salad/fruit bar. As part of encouraging healthy eating and activity, we supply nutrition education on the back of each month’s menu and encourage our students to “pick five” every day.
