Douglas County School District Nutrition Services is excited to have the opportunity to work with the Global Village Academy community! We are committed to providing your child with the highest-quality meals and to creating an environment where your child can learn to make healthy decisions that lead to a healthy life.
- Lunch Menu
- We provide approximately 30,000 nutritious meals every day to students and staff.
School meals are essential to your child because they help develop sound nutritional habits by exposing students to various foods.
- We offer many food choices and provide healthy fruits and vegetables daily.
- In addition, the well-nourished student has better attendance, is more attentive, better behaved, and has an increased energy level.
- All of these elements are tied to academic success.
School Meals are Safe
Food safety is our first and foremost concern. We have implemented a Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) Program throughout the District to reduce the chance of a food-borne illness event. Temperatures of all food products are monitored throughout production and service.
School Meals are Nutritious
- School meals contain 30 percent or less of total calories from fat, less than 10 percent total calories from saturated fat, and 35 percent or less of total calories from sugar.
School Meals are Balanced
- Every day, students choose meals from fresh fruits and vegetables, whole-grain bread and cereals, lean meats, and low-fat dairy products.
- Each school has a Harvest Bar, which features a variety of fresh produce in season.
