Nutrition

School Nutrition/Food Program:

At Northumberland CIS, we believe food is an important foundation in being ready to learn.

Food is not only essential for us to learn, it brings us together as a community of learners.

At our school, we attempt to provide food in the following ways:

  • Snack cart available throughout the school day
  • Most Wednesdays include a free “hot lunch” for students, staff and community partners

At our school, we recognize that good nutrition is foundational to being ready to learn. By supporting access to food and nutrition through various programs, we empower students to focus, engage, and thrive—whether they’re returning to education or forging a new path forward.
