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 students about nutrition will help them grow and reach their full potential, and we believe it is 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 establish healthy eating habits that support their growth, learning, and play. School lunches provide 1/3 of the recommended daily nutrient allowance, and school meals include nutritious foods such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and calcium-rich, low-fat milk.
