An alarming number of our children lack physical activity and healthy eating practices. These unhealthy eating practices can have serious health consequences beginning during the school age years and continuing on throughout adulthood. One of the major consequences is the risk of becoming overweight. A national problem Sixteen percent of children in the United States (nine-million children) are overweight. This percentage has increased threefold since 1980. Obesity is associated with many health risks such as: diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, certain cancers, and premature death. Congress recognizes that schools can play a critical role in promoting the health and well-being of our children. The Child Nutrition and Women, Infants and Children Reauthorization Act of 2004 mandates that all school districts participating in a program authorized by the National School Lunch act or Child Nutrition Act of 1966 establish a local wellness policy no later that the first day of the school year beginning after June 30, 2006. Local efforts The Bay Village City School system has developed a local wellness policy. The Bay Village wellness committee was comprised of the superintendent, administration, board members, food service personnel, teachers, community members, and students, and developed these guidelines to support the ten goals of the committee: nutrition education, physical activity, eating environment, nutrition guidelines for all foods on campus, and other school-based activities. Our recently added computerized lunch scan system allows for speedier lunch lines giving students more time to relax and eat. New school menu changes are in the best interests of our students’ health, and they also put the school district in compliance with new federal regulations we must follow to continue to benefit from our participation in the federal lunch program. |

prices for school lunches (full lunch) for the 2008-2009 school year:
