Nutrition Education, Standards & Promotion
Goal: To promote Nutrition education, student health, with the intention of improving students' health, academic achievement, and reducing child obesity, at each school, through a healthy eating environment, food safety, and the operation of Child Nutrition Programs meeting the USDA's school meal and Smart Snacks in School nutrition standards.
In the fiscal 2016-2017 year a Nutrition Specialists was hired to oversee Nutrition Education and Nutrition Promotion. Along with organizing and attending the health fairs, we were able to provide a website that was updated monthly, created nutrition education lessons for various classroom settings, incorporated nutrition education in the monthly Fresh Fruits and Vegetable Programs, and created a nutrition promotion poster for all the schools to display.
