School Lunch Information
Mount Olive Township School District is serving breakfast and lunch 5 days per week for IN-PERSON learning. Menu below is subject to change.
Breakfast and lunch meals may be PRE-ORDERED in advance to ensure a fresh and healthy meal is prepared and ready for your child. We will have additional meals available with a limited variety for children who did not pre-order. Meals will be distributed at the designated room/location/time at each school as set by each building Principal. Orders must be submitted by MONDAY, 9/7, at 2 PM for the week. Orders submitted after Monday at 2 pm will be accommodated based on product availability.
There will be ONE cold breakfast option (hope to expand soon!) and 3 options for lunch (one HOT and 2 COLD) on a daily basis. All breakfasts will include all 4 components: 2 Grain/Protein, Fruit and Milk. All lunches will include all 5 components: Protein, Grain, Vegetable, Fruit and Milk. All meals will be served fully packaged in a box, container or bag to improve safety for all our customers. Condiments, napkins, and cutlery will be included in package.
For a limited time, as per US Department of Agriculture policy, ALL MEALS WILL BE PROVIDED AT NO CHARGE.
VIRTUAL LEARNING MEALS will be available for pickup Monday, Wednesday and Friday each week(unless notified otherwise for a holiday) at Mt Olive Middle School from 7 am - 9 am. The virtual pickup menu will be similar to our in--person menu, but not exactly the same. No pre-order is necessary for virtual pickup. Monday pickup will include Breakfast and Lunch for Monday and Tuesday. Wednesday pickup will include Breakfast and Lunch for Wednesday and Thursday. Friday pickup will include Breakfast and Lunch for Friday only. There is no pickup on Monday 9/7 - Tuesday 9/8 pickup is for Breakfast and Lunch on Tuesday only.
