Child Nutrition
i3 Academy Food Program
At i3 Academy, we are committed to our students’ health and wellness. Research shows that healthy students are better able to pay attention in class and better positioned to succeed in school and in life.
The goals of our food program are to:
-
Support the academic success and achievement of our students
-
Provide nutritious meals at no charge which allow students to maintain focus
-
Provide healthy and fresh food offerings along with education on making healthy choices
-
Expose our students to new culinary experiences while still offering “kid favorites”
All stakeholders are able to participate in the development, review, update, and implementation of the Local School Wellness Policy. Please contact the Child Nutrition Program Director, Lori Sills, at lsills@i3academy.org for more details.
Student Meals at No Charge
ALL i3 Academy students are provided healthy, nutritious meals at no charge including breakfast and lunch through the National School Breakfast and Lunch Programs. At the start of each month, lunch menus will be available at the main office and posted online.
