[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How is the food at Mundo Verde and DC Bilingual?  Don't they also have their own kitchens?  For those who've seen or tried food from more than one of these schools, is the quality comparable to Stokes?[/quote]

Mundo Verde and Stokes both have great kitchens and delicious, healthy, often local food. Don't know about the new MV campus and have not tried DCB. The good ones are more expensive than DCPS unless you qualify for a reduced price, but a million times better, so for my family it's worth it.[/quote]

DCB built a kitchen when the school was renovated last summer and now all meals are in-house. We weren't there last year to know how the new options compare to the old options but I have been very impressed. (Our last charter used revolution foods which was truly repulsive and such a sad waste since so much ended up in the trash.)

Snacks at DCB are fruits and vegetables only -- so preschoolers might get strawberries and carrots with hummus or bananas and oranges on any given day. Breakfasts have a lot of yogurt and fresh fruit with granola or a muffin. Lunches tend to have a lot of beans and but there is some meat. The menu is online. Kids also get to taste things from the garden often and as they leave school there might be a kale chip to go etc.[/quote]
