what makes a lunch

Food is a big part of everyone’s well-being, and students need a place to eat where they can connect with others, recharge, and enjoy a sense of happiness in their school. That’s why we serve food kids love to eat and create programs that encourage fun and discovery.

Our nutrition services team is passionate about using fresh, nutritious, minimally processed, and locally sourced ingredients. We foster a sense of adventure in students through experiential learning activities, designed with healthier students, healthier communities, and a healthier planet in mind.

Chartwells is MPS' food service partner. Our goal every day is to make sure that students leave the cafeteria happier and healthier than when they came in! To learn more about our food service partner, visit the Chartwells website.
