Trinity Christian School

School Breakfast Program and National School Lunch Program

All students at TCS will receive FREE breakfast and lunch daily. All meals are compliant with child nutrition guidelines from NYS.

Fresh Food. Happy Kids. A Better School Lunch.

We believe that what children eat during the school day matters. A nutritious, satisfying lunch gives students the energy they need to learn, play, grow, and make the most of their day.

Our school is proud to offer a primarily scratch-made lunch program, with meals prepared right in our school kitchen.

Rather than relying heavily on prepackaged and highly processed meals, our kitchen focuses on preparing familiar, kid-friendly foods using quality ingredients. Students can look forward to favorites such as homemade chicken tenders, pasta with house-made sauces, tacos, soups, chili, meatballs, roasted chicken, homemade pizza, and more.

Made With Kids in Mind

Our goal isn’t simply to make school lunch “healthier.” We want to serve good food that children are actually excited to eat.

Menus are thoughtfully planned to provide variety throughout the month while incorporating fruits, vegetables, whole grains, protein, and milk. We use a combination of fresh and quality canned or packaged ingredients when appropriate, allowing us to provide variety, reduce food waste, and take advantage of fresh seasonal foods when they’re at their best.

Our lunch program follows the nutritional standards of the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) while giving our kitchen the opportunity to go beyond the basics by preparing more of our meals in-house.

More Than Just Lunch

For us, school meals are another way we care for our students.

Preparing food in our own kitchen gives us greater control over ingredients, allows us to continually improve our recipes based on what our students enjoy, and creates the kind of warm, home-style meal experience that reflects our school community.

From preschool through eighth grade, our goal is simple:

Serve balanced meals. Make them from scratch whenever practical. Introduce children to a variety of foods. And make lunchtime something they look forward to each day.
