Lincoln County School District #2 - School Nutrition And Fitness

District Home


	Welcome to Nutrition Services! Good nutrition and learning go hand in hand. The Nutrition Services department is made up of a team of food and nutrition professionals that are dedicated to students' health, well being and their ability to learn. We support learning by promoting healthy habits for lifelong nutrition and fitness practices. Meals, foods and beverages sold or served at schools meet state and federal requirements which are based on the USDA Dietary Guidelines. We provide students with access to a variety of affordable and appealing foods that meet the health and nutrition needs of students. School Breakfast Program Breakfast is available at all schools. We know that hungry children have a more difficult time doing their best work. That's why we encourage all students to begin the school day with a nutritious breakfast. The School Breakfast Program is available to all students. It is an ideal solution on busy mornings when kids are running late or parents have to be at work early. Whatever the reason, if breakfast at home is not convenient, please have your child take advantage of breakfast at school. If your child qualifies for free or reduced price lunches, he or she qualifies for free or reduced price breakfast at school as well. Meal Prices: Elementary Breakfast-$1.00 Elementary Lunch-$2.00 Secondary Breakfast-$1.25 Secondary Lunch-$2.25 Adult Breakfast-$1.75 Adult Lunch-$2.90 New meal requirements from USDA include: Ensuring students are offered both fruits and vegetables every day of the week; Substantially increasing offerings of whole grain-rich foods; Offering only fat-free or low-fat milk varieties; Limiting calories based on the age of children being served to ensure proper portion size; and Increasing the focus on reducing the amounts of saturated fat, Trans fats and sodium. Students must select two of the three components offered for breakfast and three of the five components offered for lunch. They are encouraged to select all components offered. Students must select a fruit or vegetable with breakfast and lunch. Components for Breakfast are: Fruit Grain Milk Components for Lunch are: Fruit Vegetable Grain Meat/Meat Alternates Milk We already meet the requirements in the following areas: both fruit and vegetables offered daily increased whole grain-rich foods, 60% of grains are whole grain-rich which is higher than the 50% requirement low-fat and fat free milk low-fat - less than 10% saturated fat Over the next few months, we'll be building on the progress we've made and will be planning our menus for next school year to meet these new nutrition guidelines. Changes coming next year: 0 grams trans fat Larger variety of fruits and vegetables offered daily More legumes offered Challenges we face: Cutting sodium levels to the target of 640 mg per meal for elementary students, 710 mg for middle school students and 740 mg for HS students. We are already in compliance for the next two years at our current levels, as they are giving us target dates and goals that must be met in 2 year increments with the final target date 10 years out. Maximum number of calories offered at each grade level. As you can see, we are already taking the steps necessary to remain in compliance with the upcoming changes as they come our way. We are committed to providing nutritious meals with healthy choices for our students. If you have any questions regarding the school breakfast and lunch program, please feel free to contact Sue Helm, Food Service Director for Lincoln County School #2. I look forward to hearing from you and ensuring that your children's nutritional needs are satisfied.
