The Brunswick School Nutrition Program serves healthy, nutritious meals to students, staff and visitors in 5 locations. Each day over 1,000 meals are served. All school menus meet USDA requirements for Calories, Fat, Protein, Calcium, Iron, Vitamins A and D. Calories are based upon the age group of the school while fat is limited to 30% of all calories coming from fat. The nutrient content is reflective of what the average student selects and not what any one student chooses. It is still very important to review meal selections with your students/children and work towards a balance on a weekly basis. All students have the option to purchase lunch and milk. Elementary menus are sent home with students at the start of every month and are posted on-line. All menus must be highly acceptable for all students, be tasty, be served with a smile, and be prepared in a safe manner. Students are given choices for entrees at breakfast (Brunswick Junior High School & Brunswick High School) and lunch. Elementary teachers take a count each morning to see who is eating lunch, not to see who wants which meal. This way, students are free to choose any entree at mealtime. There is a salad bar with fruits, vegetables, and condiments available at the food bar at the lunch line. Milk is offered with all meals - 1% white, skim, and 1.5% chocolate. |
