Healthy Concessions

Food and Beverages for Student Activities

 

Our school goal is to provide opportunities to teach our students lifelong healthy behaviors.  School related activities provide an opportunity for role-modeling healthy eating.  Food served at student events should offer students, athletes and spectators nutritious food that will enhance athletic performance or contribute to recommended daily nutrient requirements.
