Nutritional Tips:
Teach Kids the Importance of Family Meals
Research continues to demonstrate that family meals promote healthy eating habits.
Children model the behaviors of their parents, so mealtime
is a good time to show your children how important it is to make and enjoy, healthy
choices. Family meals also
are an opportunity to introduce children to new foods, develop a meal pattern and share
family time, which is important to healthy self-esteem.

If time is an issue, make the meal simple; just take some
time for a family meal.

ELEMENTARY LUNCHES

What's for Lunch?
That is the questions most elementary children have on their mind as noon time approaches. The sign on the right appears in our elementary school halls before the students walk up to the cafeteria. Colorful magnetic photos of the food components that will be served for the day are displayed.

The menu board helps children become aware of all the fruit and vegetable choices that are available for lunch. Our goal is to encourage the consumption of healthy fruits and vegetables.

When children have an idea of what they are going to select for lunch, the lunch lines move faster and children are able to spend more time enjoying their meal. Elementary Lunch includes one choice from each of the five groups below:

Elementary Lunch Includes:
1	Entree
1	Salad/Vegetable/Potatoe
1	Fruit/Juice
1	Bread
1	Milk
