Allen County Food Service Statistics

The National School Lunch Program was established in 1946 as a “measure of national security to safeguard the health and well-being of the Nation’s children.” School districts receive federal reimbursement for each school lunch served that meets the U.S. Department of Agriculture nutrition guidelines. These guidelines promote meal quality while commodity donations help the farmer and help schools keep down meal prices.
School menus are planned in accordance with the recommended daily allowances (RDA) as specified by the National Academy of Sciences and must meet the meal pattern requirements as specified by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. We are committed to providing a nutritious, appetizing and economical meal for each student every day.
Menus are distributed to each elementary student, published in The Citizen-Times, posted on the school website at www.allen.kyschools.us and also announced daily on WVLE radio.

The School Breakfast Program was established in 1966. Studies confirm that students who eat breakfast work faster, behave better, are more creative and make fewer mistakes. They score higher on tests, miss fewer days, improve attention spans and develop better social skills. Classroom attention, attendance and achievement are all improved by breakfast participation. All Schools offer hot, nutritious choices for breakfast that meet the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s nutrition guidelines.
