How Schools Play a Role in Child Nutrition
Schools can make a difference in the nutritional health of children by providing healthy meals, snacks, and beverages. The meals and snacks should provide a variety of foods from all the major food groups — including fruits, vegetables, grains, proteins, and dairy products. Eating a variety of foods ensures that children obtain all the essential nutrients they need! Additionally, schools can provide nutrition education to help students understand the importance of making healthy food choices.
