Healthy Eating Supports Learning
Top of Page
Our team of food and nutrition professionals is dedicated to enhancing students' ability to learn by contributing to their physical and mental well being. Studies have shown that children whose nutritional needs are met have fewer attendance and discipline problems and are more attentive in class. We support learning by promoting healthy habits for lifelong nutrition and fitness practices.
Meals and beverages provided by the LMUSD Nutrition Program meet state and federal requirements, which are based on the USDA Dietary Guidelines. Our students enjoy locally sourced fruits and vegetables with every meal as well as childhood favorites crafted with optimal nutrition in mind. We provide students with access to a variety of foods that meet their health and nutrition needs.
We are proud to be participating in the Harvest of the Month program through Chico State and the Center for Healthy Communities. This program provides students with locally grown, in season, fruits and vegetables to enjoy in the cafeteria and as part of nutrition education in the classroom.
