Welcome to Food Service

August 18, 2022

Dear Bellwood Antis Families,

It’s a new beginning, a fresh, bright year, and we’re more excited than ever to welcome you back!

We’ve been refining and improving your favorites foods and creating delicious, exciting new chef-inspired meals that we can’t wait to share with you! Along with your breakfast, lunch, and ala carte features, we will be hosting fun and exciting special events. Check your menus monthly to learn more and how you can participate!

We know you have tough decisions to make every day, let us help by providing school breakfast and lunch for you. There are multiple advantages:

SAVE MONEY – Groceries at home can add up, our buying power means we get quality food at cost effective pricing.

SAVE TIME – No more morning rush to pack lunch!

VARIETY – You can choose from multiple options on the serving line every day.

BALANCED NUTRITION – School meals are nutritious and are based on USDA guidelines.

We’re ready for the best year yet! Our simple mission continues to shine through every aspect of our business: Caring for People. Serving Great Food.

As your school’s food service provider, our goal has always been to provide high-quality, nutritious, healthy, and well-balanced meals to your child.

Since the onset of the pandemic, we’ve all experienced shortages in the grocery stores and restaurants we visit. School food service is not immune to those same challenges. Occasionally you’ll notice changes to school menu options, or your child may tell you that a favorite menu item has been missing.

We want to reassure you that your child will still be able to enjoy a nutritious, balanced quality meal daily. For regular updates to your school’s menu, visit menus under the district website. Should you have specific concerns or questions, please reach out to your Food Service Director:

Stephanie Harpster

Thank you for entrusting us to serve your child, as well as your continued understanding and patience!

Stephanie Harpster
Food Service Director
