Nutrition Subcommittee

Please feel free to send your comments

  • It is recommended that meals served through the National School Lunch Programs will be appealing and attractive to all of the students.
     

  • Beginning during the 2006-2007 school year, the implementation of the following
    will also take place on the part of the continued work of the Nutrition Subcommittee:

  • Introduction of new foods and nutrition education
     

  • National Breakfast Program, particularly recognizing that it is essential to educate families on the importance of a good breakfast and the impact on learning and behavior.  The District should review its need to provide a breakfast program.
     

  • Food and beverages sold individually
     

  • Limiting portion sizes of food and beverages sold individually
     

  • Reward and punishment – schools will not use foods or beverages for academic performance or good behavior and will not withhold food or beverages as a punishment.  In addition, the Nutrition Subcommittee will continue to work during the 2006-07 school year to establish long-range plans, particularly in the area of fundraising activities, snacks, celebrations, school-sponsored events, and food and beverage contracts.
