School lunches - meeting the new school nutrition guidelines

It is fast approaching school time and ensuring your child gets a healthy well balanced meal is one of the best ways to help your child succeed in school.  There are numerous studies that show that children who eat a good breakfast and a healthy lunch will do better in school academically.  There are even studies that indicate that children are more cooperative, ready and willing to learn and have a better overall attitude when they get a proper nutrition.

It only makes sense.  The brain needs vitamins and minerals in order to function optimally, and that comes from  healthy meals.

Here is a reminder of the new nutrition guidelines for school breakfast and lunch programs.  They can also help guide you as well as you make breakfast for your children and make their lunches.
