At Blair Academy, we want our students to eat nutritious meals every day. Each day we feature many fat-free, low fat and well-balanced menu items. We will use this “Eat Right” logo to identify all of these items. For your convenience, you will see a board upon entrance to the Dining Hall listing all the healthy offerings of the day. Nutritional information for these items is available. Please ask your Dining Services General Manager or Executive Chef.
