Welcome to the Vashon Island Food Services Program!

The Vashon Island School District distinguishes itself by offering a predominately ‘made-from-scratch’ (breakfast and lunch) menu to our students and staff at all three of our schools. We thank the previous Director, Lisa Cyra, for her fourteen years of leadership and expertise in helping our district build this meaningful program.

Over the last several years, we have made it a priority to connect students to our local food system through procurement of locally-grown produce whenever possible. We are thrilled that our partnership with Matsuda Farm allows us to serve sustainable and delicious vegetables grown less than a mile from our schools!

Because we are a mostly made-from-scratch program, our kitchen is a bustling and dynamic space where we take immense care and caution to ensure our meals exceed all nutritional, caloric, quality, and safety standards. Our menu items are often composed of many ingredients that we process and prepare on-site, daily -- which can make managing allergens a uniquely challenging, yet vital part of our effort to be an inclusive and welcoming space to all. To help us best support our students and staff, we ask that all allergens be provided to the school nurse, Brandi Greenidge, with a note from the treating physician so our staff can be fully prepared to feed your child.
