Lunch & Dining
Mealtime at Meadowbrook is about nourishment, community, and tradition.
Family-Style Dining
The lunch program at Meadowbrook is truly special! Children of all grade levels sit together, along with a teacher, for a family-style meal that is served to the table by our "waiters" (our 3rd–6th grade students). Our family-style dining is an important school tradition that fosters community, encourages healthy eating and contributes to The Meadowbrook Way.
We are pleased to have CulinArt lead our lunch program. This food management company has a great reputation in the industry and offers nutritious and enjoyable meals to our student body.
