Pueblo D60 and SFE Welcome Students Back to School and Back to the Café

Fresh flavors, new recipes are featured throughout district schools

Students across Pueblo D60 will be welcomed back to school with exciting new breakfast and lunch menus featuring new, on-trend recipes and classic favorites. As students enjoyed the summer break and prepared to return to the classroom, SFE Chefs and Registered Dietitians have been in the kitchen testing recipes, reviewing student feedback, and customized menus for every school in the district.

Students can look forward to bold flavors, local dishes, and new twists on cafe classics on their menus this year. New, featured menu items include Waffles, Scratch Made Enchiladas and Bistro Bowls.  Students can also anticipate their classic favorites to make an appearance, including Pizza, Breakfast for Lunch, and Green Chile.

“SFE’s made-from-scratch approach uses fresh ingredients, herbs, and seasonings to create flavorful dishes that are also healthy for our students,” said Savannah Box, General Manger  “Our students can truly taste the difference in our menus because our Chefs use quality ingredients to bring out the best flavors in every recipe.”

Pueblo D60 students can also expect to see exciting events in the café throughout the year including Roving Chef, which gives students hands-on experience cooking alongside an SFE Chef, feedback and focus groups, and monthly celebrations including Taco Tuesday, our annual community Thanksgiving Celebration, and Halloween.

Students and families can review all menus online or through the Nutrislice Mobile Menu App. Through the Nutrislice App, students can review the menu, filter for allergens, and view a full nutrition and ingredient panel for all menu items.

SFE is proud to partner with Pueblo D60 with the mission of enhancing your children's quality of life through fresh and wholesome food, a strong focus on nutrition, and unparalleled customer service.

We offer multiple entree concepts at lunch as well as milk, sides, and a fresh vegetable and fruit bar daily. Meals are nutritionally analyzed to meet federal standards of nutrition and offered at prices that won’t destroy your budget. You may use meal accounts, cash, or checks to purchase lunch, but please be aware that if a check is returned for insufficient funds, we will be unable to accept another from that source.

Pueblo D60 continues to provide meals at no charge to all enrolled students. Pueblo D60 will serve students a nutritious breakfast and lunch, provided by SFE. The program runs according to the district instructional calendar.

Community Eligible Provision Program (CEP)

In Pueblo School District 60, breakfast and lunch is free of charge at most schools* through the federal Community Eligible Provision program.

All students enrolled in Pueblo School District 60 may participate in the breakfast and lunch program at no charge. Pueblo School District 60 participates in the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP), a provision available to schools participating in the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs with high numbers of students who receive SNAP benefits.

What does this mean for you and your child(ren)?

All students enrolled in Pueblo School District 60 may participate in the breakfast and lunch program at no charge, regardless of the student's individual eligibility status.

Studies have shown that children who are not hungry perform better in school. By providing lunch for all children at no charge, we are hoping to create a better learning environment for our students.

Meals, foods, and beverages sold or served at schools meet state and federal requirements based on the USDA DIETARY GUIDELINES. All meals, foods, and beverages are prepared and served by qualified child nutrition professionals. The School Breakfast and Lunch Programs cannot succeed without your support; please encourage your children to participate in the school meal programs.
