All our 2023-2024 menus can be viewed at: https://lynnschools.nutrislice.com/
Food is a big part of everyone's well-being, and students need a place to eat where they can connect with others, recharge, and enjoy a sense of happiness in their school. That's why we serve food kids love to eat and create programs that encourage fun and discovery. Most importantly, we believe that happy cafeterias start with our people. So, we empower them to go above and beyond to bring their personal "extra" for even more creativity and joy at mealtime. Our goal every day is to make sure that students leave the cafeteria happier and healthier than when they came in.
Locally in Lynn we serve meals to over 16,000 students in 26 cafeterias. We do more than feed hungry students at Lynn Public Schools. We improve how students eat by preparing fresh, delicious and nutritious meals they love! We engage students and all their senses through the creation of new and fresh dining experiences that improve their school day. Our wide variety of menu items, programs and initiatives nourish student's bodies, minds and spirits.

Important Announcement for the 2023-2024 School Year
Dear Parent or Guardian:
We are pleased to inform you that Lynn Public Schools will be continuing the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) while participating in the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs for School Year 2023-24.
What does this mean for you and your children who attend any Lynn Public School?
Great news! All enrolled students are eligible to receive a healthy breakfast and lunch at no charge to your household each day of the 2023-24 school year. Your child (ren) will be able to participate in these meal programs without having to pay a fee or submit a meal application.
This means each student is eligible for ONE complete breakfast meal and ONE complete lunch meal at NO CHARGE.
If your child wants to purchase a second entrée, a juice, milk or other ala carte items they will need to have money on their account or pay with cash. There will be no charging on accounts allowed for these items going forward.
Sincerely,
Food Service Department
