Heathwood's Dining Commons offers meals that are far from the norm in an educational setting. Under our seasoned executive chef's guidance, we prepare healthy and delicious meals, with locally sourced ingredients, a wide variety of options, and lots of fresh fruits and vegetables.
Students with allergies and dietary restrictions will be accommodated.
THIS WEEK'S MENUS
| Flik Dining Program |
|
For over ten years, Flik Independent School Dining has been Heathwood’s dining services provider. Working exclusively with independent schools, they are experts at providing delicious and healthy lunch choices. Flik serves many locally produced products and makes many dishes from scratch, limiting the use of processed or frozen foods and additives.
- The Dining Commons is another classroom at Heathwood Hall. Flik staff and each division create age-appropriate opportunities to learn about healthy eating and nutrition.
- We practice environmentally friendly habits: plates and utensils are reusable, and we compost kitchen and dining waste.
- The Dining Commons is a wonderful place to practice manners and gather as a community.
