The goal of the food services program at the Lenox Public Schools is to provide nutritious and delicious foods to support growing minds and bodies. See our gallery below for photos of fresh meals created using local and school grown foods. Morris students use a fork farms hydroponic tower to grow some of the produce used in the school meals. The cafeterias at both LMMHS and Morris offer a variety of daily options that students can select as a meal or a snack. Breakfast and Lunch meals are provided to all students free of charge as part of the universal free meals. Questions about the Food Services program can be directed to Ms. Shannon Gagliardo, Director of Food Services, at 637-5560.
