We are excited to announce that the Montana Office of Public Instruction and Colyar Technology Solutions have partnered together to offer you Cartewheel Menu Planner!
Every student deserves a nutritious school lunch they'll actually enjoy eating. And every menu planner deserves greater choice when developing menus.
Cartewheel simplifies the process of creating healthy, delicious menus, and communicating them to your site staff. We believe school lunches should not merely comply - they should shape the foundation for a healthy lifestyle in the cafeteria and beyond.
