Gregoire has created a fabulous menu of delicious, prepared-from-scratch meals made with the finest all-natural, organic and locally-sourced ingredients. Every month will be a blend of new seasonal lunch items designed using local produce as well as tried-and-true kid favorites.

Eat Smart with Gregoire: the cream of the crop
We are committed to providing our students with healthy food every day. Eat Smart with Gregoire! will:

• Serve only organic fresh fruits and vegetables every day
• Use whole grain products to the maximum extent possible -- for example, pasta, bread and tortillas will be whole wheat
• Use sustainably farmed, hormone- and antibiotic-free, and pasture-based meats and poultry
• Never use trans-fats and high fructose corn syrup
• Never use artificial food additives and processes, such as bovine growth hormones, irradiation, and genetically modified foods

An Eat Smart with Gregoire! lunch will consist of a hot entrée (vegetarian option available daily) with student’s choice of sides. Fruit and vegetable side choices will always be organic and dairy products will always be hormone-free. Depending on the season, typical sides could include a combination of: apples, oranges, stone fruit, bananas, melon, grapes, steamed broccoli, cherry tomatoes, carrots, steamed edamame, cucumbers, mozzarella cheese sticks, cheddar cheese cubes, hard-boiled eggs, yogurt and much more. Drinks are not included in the lunch program. We encourage students to bring milk or water in a reusable container to school daily.
