When we consider adding a new menu item to our kitchens, there’s a lot more happening behind the scenes than meets the eye. Before anything ever makes it onto a student’s tray, it goes through a thoughtful review process.
One of the biggest (and obvious) factors we look at is nutrition. Calories, sodium, protein, sugar, whole grains, every detail matters. We carefully evaluate each item to ensure it meets guidelines while still delivering the great taste our students expect. It’s important to us that meals are not only delicious, but also balanced and nourishing.
Every decision we make is centered around our students. Their health, growth, focus, and overall well-being are always top of mind. We are committed to giving them the very best—meals they’re excited to eat and parents can feel good about.
Because at the end of the day, it’s not just about serving food. It’s about fueling futures. 🍎🥗

This past weekend, our Will Rogers Junior High students brought the laughs with their hilariously chaotic performance of “Haphazardly Ever After.” 🎭✨
Since September, the cast and crew have dedicated countless hours to rehearsals, line runs, set work, and perfecting every comedic moment and it absolutely paid off. Each student performed with heart, confidence, and a unique spark that made their characters unforgettable. We could not be more proud of our young Zebras and the growth they showed both on and off the stage.
A production like this is never the work of just a few, it’s the combined effort of many. A heartfelt thank you to the high school students who stepped in to help every step of the way. Your mentorship and support made a difference.
And of course, a standing ovation for our two fearless leaders, Miss Kendall Fudge and Miss Riley Ketterling. Their dedication, guidance, and belief in these students turned months of hard work into an amazing performance.
Bravo to everyone involved. This is Zebra Pride shining bright under the stage lights. 🦓👏

Spreading joy across Catalayah Elementary! 🎨✨
Mrs. Ratcliff’s 3rd-grade WIN (What I Need) enrichment group put creativity into action, designing textured paper that will be used in future art projects for ALL Catalayah students! 🖍️🖌️
Using oil pastels, paint sticks, tempera paint, and a variety of printing tools (plus some cleverly reused materials), students explored texture, color, and technique, experimenting freely while creating something meaningful for others. Art with purpose, made the Zebra way. ❤️
