Free Meals
ISM students receive free breakfast and lunch every day at no cost to families, thanks to funding from both the federal and state governments.
ISM On-Campus Meal Program
We're excited to have our own Mr. Terry, Meal Program Manager, prepare our fresh lunches this school year! ISM aims to use the highest quality ingredients available from local companies when possible. We adhere to strict food standards that meet the federal food guidelines. The milk is rBST-free (hormone-free). We do not serve fried or microwaved food. There are never any high fructose corn syrup or artificial trans fats in the food we prepare. We will feature foods that are free of artificial preservatives, colors, flavors, and sweeteners. ISM also provides a fruit, vegetable, and milk with every meal each day.
In addition to delicious foods, Mr. Terry has created a meal program focused on incorporating the cultures, choices, and food profiles of all our students. Each month, Mr. Terry will select a different grade level to choose one special meal and feature food from cultures that represent our students.
