Our mission in the Barnegat Township School District

Chartwells is a food company and food is what we do best! As we focus on a stronger culinary approach to our programs and menus, we remain committed to offering our students and school communities wholesome, nutrient-dense foods that taste GREAT! We emphasize fruits, vegetables, whole grains, low-fat dairy, lean meats, plant-based proteins and limit sodium, unhealthy fats and added sugar. We promote scratch cooking where possible and encourage variety and nutritional balance to our menus. Our skilled chefs and dietitians develop and test recipes that enhance the nutrient density of the traditional student's favorites meals while maintaining great flavor. We love food and it is the heart of everything we create!

Busy parents also benefit tremendously from the School Breakfast Program because their children will receive a healthy, balanced, and affordable meal at school that eases the burden of their hectic morning rush.

Benefits of a Healthy Breakfast Studies have shown that students who eat breakfast benefit nutritionally and educationally.
