New School Lunch Program

I have been hearing students say that they are so hungry at the end of the day.  I have been watching at lunch time to see what they eat and don't eat.  I think our students do pretty well considering how young they are, many of their plates are clean when they go to clean up at the end of the day.

Here is what a plate looks like as it is served here at school:

This follows the new recommendations of larger fruit and vegetable servings and the smaller protein servings.  For students in our school, this seems appropriate and enough to keep a student with enough energy for the afternoon classes.

I have attached a link from a personal blog of a mom's perspective of the new lunch program.  If you have any concerns about it, she has wonderful links of how and where you can contact people in charge.
