Columbia Elementary School District is committed to providing quality meals for our students. Our café prepares fresh handcrafted meals made with locally grown fruits, vegetables and healthy whole grains. In addition, we ensure nutritionally balanced meals, as well as an ongoing Wellness Policy that reinforces the importance of healthy living.
 
Our nutrition team is dedicated to providing our students with a positive and encouraging environment when they enter our café. Our staff actively engages with our students to determine their likes and dislikes. We strive to provide students with meals they will enjoy, while providing them with the nutrition necessary for success in the classroom. Our success is attributed to the love and care we put into our cooking.
