GROOVY BERRIES?!
Firstly, we would like to congratulate the coloring contest winners and cooks at PPIS! Thank you for participating in this GROOVY challenge that focused on School Lunch.
Secondly, we would like to thank Sharon Maynard with the American Dairy Association for aiding Hannan High School in obtaining a grant for smoothie equipment. Today was a BERRY good day as we offered Wild Berry smoothies for breakfast.
Did you know breakfast is the most important meal of the day?
We “fast” for seven or more hours a night when we sleep, and breakfast means to “break the fast.” It is vital that when we awake that we fuel our bodies for the day with breakfast! Nourish your brain and body with a well-balanced meal. Try cereal with sliced bananas and milk or make a smoothie with fresh fruit, yogurt and low-fat milk.
Mason County Schools finished National School Lunch Week with a Scratch Cook Training made possible through a grant provided by the WVDE. Cooks prepared many new recipes for lunch such as Chicken Bacon Ranch Subs, Chocolate Caramel Moo Brew, The Hulk Smoothie, Sweet Chili Chicken Wraps, and Chicken Lo Mein with Vegetables, just to name a few.
We would like to thank our cooks for the passion and hard work they put forth every day to provide sound nutrition to our children.
Fun Food Fact: Did you know kid’s favorites are now offered in healthier versions? Pizza is served on whole-grain crust with low-fat cheese and reduced sodium tomato sauce! The Healthy, Hunger Free Kids Act of 2010 enabled major improvements to school meals, bringing school meals in line with the latest nutrition science. By offering students familiar foods that are whole grain-rich, low in sodium and low in saturated fat, the school cafeteria is balancing nutrition and consumer demand.

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) serves nearly 30 million children every school day. President John F. Kennedy created National School Lunch Week (NSLW) in 1962 to promote the importance of a healthy school lunch in a child’s life and the impact it has inside and outside of the classroom. #NSLW22 will be celebrated October 10-14, 2022
