Meals & Menus

Monthly menus will resume in September 2026

• The Minnesota Kindergarten Milk Program (MKMP) covers the cost of milk for kindergarten students.
• Students in grades 1-6 have the option of a one time payment which covers the entire school year (specific details will be posted once available).

Details for the 2026-27 school year have yet to be determined.

The fruit and vegetable cart will be rolling through the halls of Viking Elementary providing a free healthy fruit/vegetable snack each day for all elementary students. 

The Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (FFVP) is a federally assisted program providing free fresh fruits and vegetables to children at eligible elementary schools during the school day. The goal of the FFVP is to introduce children to fresh fruits and vegetables, to include new and different varieties, and to increase overall acceptance and consumption of fresh, unprocessed produce among children.

MINNESOTA’S FREE SCHOOL MEALS PROGRAM

• We continue to be part of the Minnesota’s Free School Meals Program*
• All students can get one breakfast and one lunch free of charge each day at school.
• Although no application is required for the free meal benefit, filling out the Application for Educational Benefits form each year is still important because it helps with reduced student sports/activities & testing fees and educational funds for schools.
