A new menu with

fresh, healthy meal
options will be available at Stratford
Public Schools for the
2016-17 school year,
thanks to the newly
announced partnership between the
school district and
Keystone Foodservice.
Keystone
Foodservice focuses
on providing freshly
prepared breakfast
and lunch options for
the students it serves.
The Oklahoma-based
and family-owned
company serves
approximately 35,000
students daily and
has been selected as
the cafeteria vendor
for Stratford schools.
Keystone is the
only K12 child nutrition provider operating in Oklahoma that
is actually located and
based in Oklahoma.
Keystone
Foodservice prepares fresh meals for
Oklahoma students
like only a business
located in Oklahoma
and focused on the
health of Oklahoma
students would, said
Michael Blackburn,
superintendent of
Stratford Public
Schools.
We expect our students, teachers and
staff are going to be
excited this year to
eat meals provided by
Keystone.

Keystone will begin

serving breakfast and
lunch to the students
at Stratford when students return for the
start of classes. Lunch
includes a full salad
bar, stocked daily
with fresh fruits and
vegetables. Free and
reduced prices are
available for students
who qualify.
Our goal is to provide healthy meals
that kids will eat and
enjoy and we know
that variety is key
to that, said Josh
Sanders, CEO for
Keystone Foodservice.
We listen to our
kids and their parents and are always
introducing new foods
throughout the school
year.
We are proud to
partner with Stratford
Public Schools, and
we are grateful to its
school board and the
administration for
their willingness to
try something new to
benefit the kids they
serve, said Sanders.
We are already
getting great feedback and look forward
to cooking up great
meals for the kids in
this community day in
and day out.
Its operations have
steadily grown and
this school year it is
serving more than 80
school districts across
Oklahoma.
