Nutrition for Teachers

Students must be healthy to learn, but they also need to learn to be healthy.
 
We encourage and support health and nutrition education in the classroom. Teaching nutrition to students will help them to grow and learn to their fullest potential, and we believe it is the key to promoting lifelong health and wellness. Nutrition Education establishes the basic skills for making healthy eating and lifestyle choices that will carry them into adulthood.
 
Our school's breakfast and lunch programs help students to establish the healthy eating habits that they need to grow, learn, and play. School lunches contain 1/3 of the recommended daily nutrient allowance, and school meals include nutritious foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and calcium rich low fat milk.
