Free Meals for All Students

All meals at Murphy ESD are provided free of charge to every enrolled student—because access to healthy food should never be a barrier to learning.

Students receive:

  • Free breakfast

  • Free lunch

  • Free after-school meal

Breakfast is conveniently served in the classroom at both schools, helping students start their day focused and ready to learn.

Nutritious, Balanced, and High-Quality Meals

Murphy ESD participates in the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, federally assisted programs administered at the state level by the Arizona Department of Education.

All school meals meet required meal pattern and nutrition standards and emphasize:

  • Increased fruits and vegetables

  • Whole grains

  • Fat-free and low-fat milk options

  • Ongoing reductions in sodium levels

Our menus are thoughtfully designed to support student health while meeting federal and state guidelines.

Free language assistance, auxiliary aids, and/or accommodations are available upon request. For more information, please contact Lupita Lopez at 602-353-5004.
