You may have heard from your child this week about our new lunch-line food serving routine that began on Monday, April 9. In preparation for the new federal law guidelines pertaining to nutrition standards associated with school lunch programs, starting next fall students are required to take a half cup of a fruit or vegetable each day at lunch (they can take both and many already do). Past expectations only required students to have 3 items on their tray without any fruit or vegetable. In order to monitor that students are taking a fruit or vegetable, the order in which food items in the lunch line are served has been rearranged. The fruit or vegetable choices are now the first items in line, which has caused the students to say lunch is "backwards." The food service is instituting this change to prepare students for the next school year. If you have questions, please feel free to contact me at school. Also, check out the following link for more information provided by our school district.
