Coordinated School Health - 8 Components
Nutrition Services
Many students eat one or two meals a day at school and have access to food outside of meal times as well. Thus, schools have a unique opportunity to offer more nutritious food, as well as develop coordinated educational activities to encourage students to make healthful eating and good nutrition a priority for life.
Implementation Ideas:
- Schools can focus on healthy food choices in vending machines
- Schools can adopt healthy snack policies for elementary school celebrations
- Parents, students and school staff can partner to select healthy menus for the cafeteria.
