Ancillae Assumpta Academy strives to provide healthy and nutritious lunches to the students, faculty, and staff.  We believe that teaching our students the value of nutrition and healthy eating habits at a young age will help instill the knowledge they need to make healthful, wholesome choices as they become adults.  Our foodservice staff is committed to sustainable practices by recycling plastic and cardboard, providing paperless lunches, and composting food scraps.  

Our foodservice staff have been serving the AAA community with fresh and home-made foods for over 20 years.  We believe in going the extra mile by using high quality ingredients to prepare a variety of delicious and nutritious options for the wellness of our students, faculty, and staff.  The foodservice staff is passionate about their work and hopes each student feels refreshed and nourished when they leave the dining room.
