STUFF the TRUCK 

Food Drive at Wyoming Elementary

Wyoming Elementary would like to support the Minnesota Foodshare Campaign by collecting nonperishable items for our local food shelves.  We will be collecting these items at school from Tuesday, Feb. 21 - Wednesday, April 5th. In 2020 we collected 600 food items.  In 2021 we collected 1,300 items and last year we collected an amazing 2,264 food items.  Everything that we collect is matched by Minnesota Food Share during this time period. This year our goal is to once again  STUFF the TRUCK!  The empty Family Pathways Food Truck will arrive at Wyoming Elementary on Wednesday, April 5th, to pick up what we have collected.  Can we STUFF the TRUCK?

All items collected are used to serve families in Wyoming.    

Here is a list of items the food shelf is especially looking for:

Canned Fruits and Vegetables

Canned Meat: Tuna, Chicken, Salmon

Hearty Chunky Soups and Stews and Cream of Mushroom Soup

Whole Grain Pasta and Rice

Baking and Cooking Items:  Vegetable Oil, Flour, Sugar

Peanut Butter 

They also welcome personal hygiene and household cleaning products.

Want to give financially?  Family Pathways has the opportunity to get more bang for the buck.  $10 feeds a family of 4 for one week!  Checks should be made to Family Pathways.

Food & Nutrition Department Back to Normal Operations

Beginning August 1, 2022, the Food & Nutrition Department will return to normal operations. What does this mean? 

Breakfast and lunch will still be available to all students; however, they will not be free to all students. That means families will need to complete the meal benefit application to qualify for free or reduced-priced meals. Students who do not qualify for free or reduced-priced meals must pay full price for breakfast and lunch. Please see the 2022-2023 school meal prices below. 

Forest Lake Food & Nutrition Services follows USDA guidelines for all school meals. These standards ensure meals are healthy, well balanced, and provide adequate nutrition they need to succeed at school.  Any à la carte food items sold to students outside the breakfast and lunch program follows the USDA Smart Snacks guidelines. Smart Snacks guidelines have reduced calories, sodium, fat and sugars to ensure students are only offered tasty and nutritious foods during the school day.
