Food Service's Mission Statement 

The Food Service Team of North Conejos School District will provide healthy meals district wide. We embody values of hard work, dedication, and determination. We provide a nutritional meal with a quick service and a smile. Above all we are kind to our students. We represent well fed students who excel mentally, physically, and their overall well-being. To achieve this we abide by our budget and exceed it by writing grants to accomplish our programs needs. At the end of the day we provide a service to ensure students are happy, fed, and content.
