List of 4 items.

  • Daily Lunch Menu

    The daily lunch menu is published each day and can be accessed from the What’s For Lunch resource tile in the Green Room or from SAGE’s Crescent Community web portal.

    Each day there is a selection of hot entrees with sides and vegetables, soup, salad, and sandwich bars, dessert and fresh fruit. 
  • Touch of SAGE App

    Parents and students can check the lunch menu, rate meal items, and manage their allergens using the Touch of SAGE app, which can be downloaded from the App Store or Google Play. Use the postal code M2L 1A2 (with space) in the location field to search for Crescent School.

    This video provides instructions on how to use the Touch of SAGE app.
  • Managing Food Allergies

    SAGE follows a comprehensive allergen management program which covers everything from purchasing and deliveries to food preparation and service to ensure community members with food allergies feel safe and included.

    The daily menu can be filtered for 12 priority allergens (wheat, gluten, eggs, fish, milk, sesame, soy, shellfish, peanuts, tree nuts, mustard, and sulphites) and two eating patterns (vegetarian and vegan) using the filter function on the daily menu. This feature is also available on the Touch of SAGE app.

    Please send an email to sage@crescentschool.org if you have questions relating to your son's special dietary needs for religious, health or lifestyle reasons. The team at SAGE will be happy to give you a tour of the kitchen, show you ingredients, and discuss any concerns about their food allergy protocols.

    Please also ensure that food allergies are appropriately indicated on the student’s medical form. This information should also be shared with the Wellness Centre at 416-449-2556 ext. 252 or nurse@crescentschool.org, along with the appropriate Head of School.

    Crescent School is an allergen-aware and nut-safe environment. This means there will be no foods or snacks served or brought to the school that are known to contain peanuts, peanut by-products, nuts, or traces of nuts.

    Food items labelled “may contain traces of nuts” cannot be brought to the school for sharing. Any food for sharing must be labelled as “nut free.” Any snacks that boys bring to school from home must be nut-safe. Food and drinks are not allowed in the classrooms or in the carpeted areas, except on special occasions.
  • Spotlight on Nutrition

    The SAGE Spotlight Program provides education and guidance on building nutritionally balanced plates based on personal and dietary preferences.

    Each menu item is assigned a green Spotlight based on its nutrient density. The darker the green, the more nutrient dense the food. Find the Spotlights on menus online and in the dining hall, as well as in the Touch of SAGE Mobile App.

    Choose foods you enjoy using this plate as a guide. Remember, all foods have a place on your plate!
