News From Your Food Service Program:
NUTRIKIDS
This year we also have introduced carton or bottled milk with HP/Hood Milk in all the schools of SAU 39. This product contains no artificial growth hormones.
Due to the strong evidence for the connection between health concerns and educational issues, such as academic performance and behavior at school, we feel that we need to make sure that we offer as much fresh produce as possible in order to promote Health and Wellness for our students.
Whenever possible, we will be offering some gluten free items for students with special dietary requirements. We need parents/guardians to let the kitchen know of these requirements as soon as possible in order to accommodate these student needs.
Due to the increase in food costs, particularly vegetables and fruits, we have increased the cost of meals to insure quality and fresh produce for our students this year. Due to market fluctuations we may at times need to substitute fresh produce with frozen or canned products.
We will be offering wheat pancakes and French toast on the menus this year, and we have worked with Domino’s pizza of Amherst to introduce a wheat enriched pizza crust to be offered in the schools this year.
We will also offer the normal pizza crust for those students allergic to wheat product.
This year, due to all the peanut butter allergies, we are introducing a Butter made from Sun Flowers which tastes a lot like our standard peanut butter . We will call it a Sun Butter &Jelly Sandwich.
This year our prices for a full lunch (including milk, juice or fruit with the Entrée) are as follows:
Elementary Schools - $2.75 (milk carton size $0.60)
Middle School - $3.00 (milk carton is $0.60 bottle 10 oz size $0.80)
High School - $3.25 (milk bottle size $0.80)
The Amherst Mont Vernon and Souhegan School Systems participate in the Federal School Lunch Program. Each year, parents are given the opportunity to apply for free or reduced lunches. Applications must be completed before September 30th of each school year and submitted on an annual basis.
Notice for Military Families
We are very pleased to provide the Nutrikids system for our second year, along with the online pre-payment program which was a great success for many parents/guardians last year. This is an informative site to use as a nutritional and financial tool. It can be very useful when discussing the cost and nutritional value of meals and a la carte items with your child/children.

This is an informative site to use as a nutritional and financial tool. It can be very useful when discussing the cost and nutritional value of meals and a la carte items with your child/children. The USDA is allowing an exception to the Free and Reduced School Lunch Program eligibility guidelines for Military Families whose households have been affected by "Operation Enduring Freedom". The allowed exception is that any deployed service member's income made available by them or on their behalf to the household is included as income. In addition, the deployed service member will continue to be considered a household member. Please note that this could make a difference to a great number of Military Families in New Hampshire.
