Starting October 19th, CUSD Nutrition Services will be providing FREE curbside meals for all distance learning students at Oak Bridge Academy located on the Chico Mall. Meals will be available for pick up Monday-Friday from 11:00am-1:00pm. Meals for Saturdays and Sundays will be handed out on Fridays. See you there!
Our nutrition team strives to use as many local vendors as possible for our fresh fruits, vegetables, proteins, milk and dairy. We have our own bakery with three professional bakers that produce many of our breakfast items such as muffins, cinnamon rolls, and muffin tops!
