The Schoolhouse Fare owners are Carol Fair and Bradley Morrow, stay-at-home mothers with school age children, located in Charleston, SC.
Schoolhouse Fare is an automated full service lunch management program that allows families to order and pay for school lunches online. This service is offered at no cost to the school with a portion of the lunch revenue being doanted to Cardinal Newman School. View the Schoolhouse Fare website for more information.
An ala carte monthly menu offeres a variety of popular and healthy menu choices from local family dining restaurants. A different restaurant is offered each day of the week with this schedule repeated throughout the month. For an entree with a side of fruit, the prices start at $3.50 plus sales tax. Side items and milk are available.
The menu is transfat free, offering fruit, vegetables, calcium and protein rich foods on a daily basis. The nutritional profile of the menu has been reviewed by nutrition and wellness expert, Dr. Ann G. Kulze of Charleston, SC to promote reasonably healthy and balanced lunches. Dr. Ann's "Top Pick for Health" is a daily choice on the menu. View Dr. Ann's Wellness website for more information.
