Orleans Southwest Supervisory Union and its schools pride themselves on offering quality nutritional meals to our students at each school as participants in a number of federal school meals programs.

We partner with local food growers and makers such as Center for an Agricultural Economy, Burtt's Orchard, and Jasper Hill Farm to create community connections and emphasize fresh, quality ingredients on appealing menus. OSSU's Food Service staff is committed to providing tasty meals that power our youth for learning in and outside of the classroom.
