Lunch

The SVdP lunch program works to meet the nutrition and wellness recommendations offered by the USDA and has met the requirements for being identified as a USDA Team Nutrition School. The SVdP lunch program won the Innovation in the Preparation of School meals award in 2025-2026.

Our Approach

All meals served by the SVdP lunch program will meet National School Lunch Program guidelines and include five components: meat/meat alternative, vegetable, fruit, grain, and milk.  SVdP follows Offer vs. Serve guidelines, meaning that students are offered all five components and must take at least three items, with one of those selections being a fruit or vegetable.

All lunches are served with a choice of milk: 1% white, skim white, or skim chocolate. One milk is included in the amount charged for a lunch.  If a student selects an additional milk, a juice, or bottled water, additional charges will apply.

Sack Lunches for Field Trips

The SVdP lunch program will gladly provide a sack lunch for your child in conjunction with upcoming field trips. Sack lunches will include a cold sub sandwich, Harvest Cheddar Sun Chips, carrots with ranch dressing, an apple, a fruit cup, a cookie, and a choice of white or chocolate milk.  Sack lunch orders must be made online. Parents will be provided a link for sack lunch orders from classroom teachers prior to any given field trip.

Balances & Payments

SVdP requests all parents make deposits to student lunch accounts in advance via the eFunds for Schools online payment portal

If parents choose to pay by check, please indicate how funds are to be distributed among children. If no indication is provided, the check amount will be equally divided among all siblings.
