Dear Families:

The Keansburg School District Food and Nutrition Department is asking for your patience and support as we navigate new challenges. As you may be aware, nationwide shortages and delays have affected the availability of certain food items, leading to substitutions of menu items we've been able to offer regularly in the past.

These supply issues are occurring throughout the country and are especially challenging for school systems, due to the number of meals we serve and the nutrition standards we follow. The entire food service industry faces unprecedented shortages and massive delays or cancelations of deliveries. Additionally, food service departments are faced with labor shortages.

All of this means that we may need to make quick substitutions to our menu(s) based on what we can acquire. We want to help limit the effects this has on our students, and we are doing our best to provide updates about menu changes as soon as we identify an issue.

Please know that our priority is providing healthy, nutritious, and delicious meals for your children. We love seeing them every day and appreciate your support and patience as we continue to offer meals at no charge for all students.

The good news is that free breakfast and lunch will continue throughout the school year, so please support us while we face yet another challenge. Student participation helps our program stay strong, and we look forward to serving them every day.

Sincerely,

Craig Ditzel
