National School Lunch Program

Elgin School participates in the Child Nutrition Program administered by the United States Department of Agriculture. Nutritious meals are served every school day. Menus are planned in accordance with the Dietary Guidelines for Americans. Meals provide one-third of the Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) for calories, protein, vitamins A and C, calcium, and iron at lunch and one-fourth of the RDA for these nutrients at breakfast.
