Nutritional Development Services provides healthy, affordable meals to our students and throughout the five counties of Southeastern Pennsylvania.

Breakfast

The Breakfast Program sponsored by NDS is now available in our school. The menu includes items such as a fortified cereal, muffin, or bagel, 100% juice, and milk. Items are pre-packaged for food safety and for easy service.

Some schools find that serving breakfast in the classroom encourages the greatest participation. Breakfast is offered either before the last bell, before morning announcements, or at a morning break while children copy homework assignments, etc.

Price: Free for all students and staff.

Lunch

The Lunch Program sponsored by NDS is available to our school. Parents may select items from our lunch menu or decide to send their child with a packed lunch. The nutritional menu includes items such as meat, vegetables, baked items, and milk. Items are pre-packaged for food safety and for easy service.

Price: The lunch for grades 6,7 and 8 costs $2.05 per day, for all other grades it is $1.95 per day. Some children may qualify to receive lunch for a reduced price of 40 cents or for free.

Due to the fact that our meals are delivered to our school every other day both breakfast and lunch are to be ordered in advance. Menus are posted on our website for your convenience.

Eligibility for Free or Reduced Price Meals

Some children may be eligible to purchase meals at a 'reduced price' or receive it for free. Families find out if they are eligible for these price breaks by submitting applications each fall. NDS reviews applications for the school. Income guidelines are updated each year for inflation.
