Lunch menus are subject to change without notice.

Children will still be served a nutritious lunch. Vegetarian options are available at all schools every day. Ask your school's cafeteria manager for details. The Franklin School Lunch Program designs our menus to meet the nutrition standards set by the USDA. Our goal is to serve children a nutritious lunch prepared under sanitary conditions, in pleasant surroundings and at an affordable price.
