St. Barnabas School is proud to provide your children with a variety of nutritious lunch selections at reasonable prices. We are committed to serving what our students prefer to eat while encouraging healthy choices, teaching portion control and reducing waste.  Our School Nutrition Specialist utilizes many of the National School Lunch Program's healthy guidelines to ensure good nutrition is at the center of every plate.  Each lunch consists of five components:  protein, grain, vegetable, fruit and milk. No other beverage may be substituted for milk.  Silk Soy milk (vanilla & chocolate), Capri Sun 100% juice, Mott's Apple Juice, Switch or Izze sparkling juice (no added sugar), Gatorade Zero (no sugar) and/or water may be purchased at an additional charge. Extra menu items may be purchased on an ala cart basis as well. Please see the back of the menu for details.

The St. Barnabas cafeteria utilizes the FACTS system for purchasing lunch.  Your children will receive a monthly menu the last Thursday of each month and it can also be found on the school website. Lunch orders will be taken in the classroom each morning. Any additional servings must be ordered at that time as well.

The cafeteria computer system is linked to your FACTS account where you place money into your children’s accounts for all purchases. No cash will be accepted in the cafeteria.  Please note that all balances, both positive and negative, carry forward from the previous year.  

 

The cafeteria will continue to offer access to the Free & Reduced Price Lunch Program.  Determinations will utilize the current USDA Income Eligibility Guidelines. New in 2022 - the reduced price lunch cost is $1.50 per full lunch. This program applies to the standard 5 component lunch only.  Additional servings or alternate beverages are at regular cost. Applications are available to download on the school website. If you are unable to download the application, please call the food service director (330) 467-9383 to request a copy. If you have taken advantage of this program in the past, please note that a NEW application MUST be completed each year. All returning applications must be received by September 23rd to insure uninterrupted service. Important: If your financial situation changes during the school year, you may complete an application at any time. All requests will be kept in strict confidence.
