The Healthy Active Living Education committee (HALE) is pleased to announce enhancements to our cafeteria food services starting Monday May 4th. These changes address your feedback (parent and student) on the need to improve the healthy food choices offered by the school cafeteria (through Compass Cafeteria services). HALE has worked in partnership with Compass to offer these improvements.

This is a first step in an ongoing process to bring the best levels of nutrition and health to the cafeteria. We will continue to provide you with updates to keep you informed and to provide you with information for discussions with your children on making “healthier” food purchases from the cafeteria.
