School lunches offer healthy alternatives to snacks

Did you know students have many healthy alternatives to snacks during lunch? Each day at your school, the following healthy side dishes are offered: fresh fruit, fruit juice, canned fruit, a bag of fresh veggies, small salad, fresh baked dinner rolls and milk. All of these side dishes may be chosen with your student's lunch, but if your child is still hungry, for 50 cents more, he or she can purchase more of these side dishes. If a student would like to have an extra entree (maybe an extra hamburger or an additional slice of pizza), this can be purchased along with a lunch for an additional dollar.

If you pack a lunch for your student and run out of fruit or veggies to add to the lunch box, your student may purchase any of the above healthy side dishes for only 50 cents.

We love to feed kids healthy foods, and we know healthy foods help them to learn.

If you have a student at the middle school level, the same healthy choices are available daily for the same low price of 50 cents per side dish. (Exception: A small salad costs $1. It is a larger portion than the elementary size.) Extra entrees are available with the purchase of a lunch for only $1.

Alternativas Saludables para los Almuerzos

¿Sabía usted que los estudiantes tienen alternativas saludables para sus almuerzos? En nuestra escuela ofrecemos diariamente los siguientes alimentos saludables: fruta fresca, jugo de frutas, frutas enlatadas, bolsas de vegetales frescos, ensaladas pequeñas, panecillos frescos, y leche. Los estudiantes pueden escoger estos alimentos como complementos a sus almuerzos; pero si aún tienen hambre, pueden comprar más de estos alimentos por 50 centavos adicionales. Si desean añadir un plato principal adicional a su almuerzo (quizás otra hamburguesa o pedazo de pizza), pueden comprarlo junto con su almuerzo por $1.00 adicional.

Si usted empaca un almuerzo para su estudiante y no tiene frutas o vegetales disponibles, su estudiante los puede comprar en la escuela a 50 centavos por cada alimento.

¡Disfrutamos de alimentar a sus hijos con alimentos saludables! ¡Los alimentos saludables les ayudan a aprender!

Si su estudiante está en escuela intermedia, puede disfrutar de las mismas opciones por el mismo precio de 50 centavos por alimento. (Excepción: la ensalada pequeña cuesta $1.00 debido a que es una porción más grande que la ensalada en la escuela primaria). Los platos principales adicionales cuestan $1.00.
