2009-2010 School Breakfast & Lunch Prices 
A school meal is a high-value, low-cost option available to you and your children each and every school day.

The Augusta School Nutrition Program prepares nutritious breakfasts & lunches daily in all of our schools.  Our goal is to provide meals that meet the expectations of all our customers (students, parents, and educators).  This is a challenge, one that we take seriously and work hard to achieve.  Communication is vital to our success.  Should you at any time wish to share a comment, concern, or suggestion regarding our program, please do not hesitate to contact your school's kitchen manager or the Director of School Nutrition Programs using the e-mail link at the top of this page, or by calling 626-2468 Extension # 4207.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture unveiled MyPyramid, a new symbol and interactive food guidance system.  MyPyramid, which replaces the Food Guide Pyramid introduced in 1992, is part of an overall food guidance system that emphasizes the need for a more individual approach to improving diet and lifestyle.

The MyPyramid symbol, which is deliberately simple, is meant to encourage consumers to make healthier food choices and to be active every day.

To see "Anatomy of MyPyramid, go to:

A child-friendly version of MyPyramid for teachers and children is being developed.  This version of MyPyramid is intended to reach children 6 to 11 years old with targeted messages about the importance of making smart eating and physical activity choices.  Additional information about USDA's MyPyramid is available at  http://MyPyramid.gov.  The 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans and consumer brochure are available at www.healthierus.gov/dietaryguidelines.
