Tennessee School for the Blind (TSB) recognizes the concern that parents and students share concerning nutrition at the school level and how it directly affects children’s educational development.
A new Federal law, The Child Nutrition and WIC Reauthorization of 2004, states that all school districts must establish a School Wellness Policy by the beginning of the 2006/2007 school year.
School Nutrition professionals continue to lead the way in promoting healthy eating habits in schools. Among the efforts here at TSB are:
A School Wellness Policy and School Wellness Team (SWT) Adding more fruit and vegetable choices like kiwi and fresh spinach Offering more items with whole grains Continuing to evaluate food products based on nutritional values Continue to improve healthy options available to students like wraps and salads Offering parents more detailed nutritional education and menu analysis on the schools website To continue to incorporate our Hazard Analysis Critical Control Program (HACCP) (This is a program to prevent or eliminate contamination by targeting safety measures in the Foodservice Department.)
Below you will find some excellent websites concerning nutrition. Our primary concern here at Tennessee School for the Blind is to provide an appealing and nutritious alternative to “junk foods” and poor eating habits.
