Sprague School

Students met with the school’s lunch provider, Quest, to share suggestions and ideas about improving the meals at Sprague. They sampled a variety of cuisine. Then, students shared what they liked and disliked about items such as fried rice, stir fry vegetables, Italian beef sandwiches, and bruschetta pasta. Each school receives input from its students annually to determine what is working well with the lunch meals and where improvements can be made. For pictures of the activities, please visit the school's Google Doc folder.

Quest’s mission is to provide its communities they serve with fresh, high-quality food. Quest’s philosophy is to serve seasonal and regionally available ingredients. In addition, they strive to offer whole grain breads, pastas, and cereals. They source milk that is local and free of added growth hormones, use trans-fat free oils, and never use msg.
