Universal School Meals Program at Triton Regional High School

Last week, we toured Triton Regional High School’s cafeteria with Sarah Littman, Director of Food and Nutrition, for the Triton Regional School District, cafeteria staff, Superintendent Brian Forget, Members of DESE, as well as, State Representative Dawne Shand and Kristin Kassner State Representative 2nd Essex District to see first-hand how the Universal School Meals program is impacting our district.

We focused on the following during our tour:

• Celebrated the state's progress made since 2020 in providing school meals at no cost to families

• Highlighted examples of school meals since universal school meals: incorporation of culturally diverse meals, scratch cooking, and serving local Massachusetts-sourced foods

• Connected with students to hear their first-hand experiences of school lunch
