The office of Food and Nutrition serves over 8 Million meals annually across all of our schools. Children who are healthy and well-nourished perform better in school, and the Office of Food & Nutrition Services is an important part of this educational process. Did you know that AACPS receives no county funds to operate our lunch and breakfast programs?  Their source of revenue is 39% from sales, 57% from Federal reimbursements, and 4% from the State of Maryland. If you see this group in the lobby, stop by to say hello, learn something, and potentially win a prize!
