Understanding Meal Choices

In accordance with the USDA National School Lunch and School Breakfast Program and to prevent waste, Anna ISD offers students several meal component options instead of a predetermined food selection. 

At each meal service, students are offered: 

  • variety of fruits and vegetables

  • whole grain-rich options 

  • quality protein

  • low-fat plain milk or fat-free flavored milk 

Students may select all of the offered components; however, to be considered a full meal, they must select certain items:

  • At breakfast, a meal includes three items, one of three being a fruit or a vegetable.
  • A meal at lunch must include a minimum of three components, with one of the three being a fruit or a vegetable. 

Students who select fewer than three components or who do not choose a fruit or vegetable are charged for their selections based on a la carte prices.
