Breakfast
All students may eat a free nutritious breakfast every day as part of the Universal Breakfast Program. See the BUSD menu to know what they will be serving each day.
BUSD School Lunch Initiative
The BUSD School Lunch Initiative (SLI) has two primary goals: 1) to serve more nutritious and delicious, freshly-prepared meals using locally grown food to all of our students, and 2) to educate children in kitchen, garden and academic classrooms about their food choices and the impact those choices have on their health, the community and the environment.

Packing your child's lunch
Please no junk food. As part of Sylvia Mendez's commitment to give all children a healthy start, our school discourages students from bringing soda and candy to school.
Universal breakfast
All Sylvia Mendez students receive a nutritious breakfast everyday provided by BUSD at no charge. Teachers make an effort to begin instruction during breakfast time, so regardless of whether or not your child chooses to eat, it is important that you child arrive to school on time, at 8:08 AM.
