School Nutrition & Wellness
Welcome to Sun Prairie's School Nutrition and Wellness Department!
The goal of the School Nutrition Program in Sun Prairie is to provide high quality, nutritious breakfasts and lunches to all students. Eligible students receive meals free or at a reduced price. We also strive to keep the price low for students paying full price.
All schools operate on a computerized pre-payment lunch accounting system. Every student in the District has a School Nutrition Account. All students enter their personal five digit student id number to access their account or they may use cash. Any breakfast, lunch or milk item is deducted from the student's account.
We look forward to serving your child a nutritious meal. We also encourage you to visit your child's cafeteria and join them for breakfast and lunch.

Donate to the Hunger Hero Campaign
One of the things we love most about living in Sun Prairie is how our community comes together to help those in need.
And right now there are hungry students in our public schools who need your help.
In recent years, we’ve worked hard to advocate for policies that ensure that every student in our schools has equal opportunity to succeed, and we are proud to live in a community where the school board and district administration put students first when making policy decisions.
After learning more about how many students are hungry in our district and how many teachers and staff members were paying out of pocket to meet their most basic needs, we started a 501(c)(3) non-profit – the SPARC Local Action Fund – to do our part in making sure kids were ready to learn and thrive in our amazing public schools. And community partners have stepped up to help in a powerful way – from businesses and churches to individuals and civic groups. We are so thankful for this support!
Research shows a clear correlation between nutrition and brain development, and hunger and the ability to concentrate and learn. We know that all of our students have great potential – but some are struggling to achieve because they are hungry during the school day.
Thanks in part to your help shining a spotlight on student hunger throughout Snack Smart program, we were able to advocate for changing district policy so that no student is “shamed” in the lunchroom by receiving a cold lunch because of an inability to pay. The district now prides itself on being a leader in this area, and is committed to providing a fair and equitable lunch for all students, regardless of their ability to pay.
If you or your organization would like to be a HUNGER HERO for Sun Prairie students, make a tax-deductible donation today to the SPARC Local Action Fund, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization by clicking on the Donate button.
