🌟 Introducing Bright Bites Kitchen!
The Stratford Sodexo Food Service Program is excited to introduce Bright Bites Kitchen, a new menu line that brings a fun and culturally diverse dining experience to our school while still offering many of the students' favorite meals.
Here’s what’s new:
Three choices daily: two hot entrées and one cold option
One “safe choice” (like chicken nuggets, pizza, brunch for lunch, or nachos)
One adventurous entrée inspired by international cuisines
A variety of hot and cold vegetables daily
Fresh or cupped fruit every day
Choice of flavored or unflavored milk
For students with dietary needs:
Safe, alternative meals will continue to be available. Please contact the Food Service Department to discuss any dietary restrictions.
Why Bright Bites?
The menu was created with feedback from students, parents, and staff nationwide. It’s designed to make mealtime both nutritious and exciting, helping students explore new tastes and cultures.
📞 Questions? Contact the Sodexo Food Service Office at 203-385-4214 or karen.cook@sodexo.com.
🔗 All nutrition info, including allergens and carb counts, is available on the Nutrislice page via the Stratford Board of Education website under Food Services.
We can’t wait for our students to enjoy these new flavors!
