Wellness Councils
Did you know that in the Child
Nutrition
and WIC Reauthorization Act of 2004, the U.S. Congress
established
a requirement for school districts to develop and implement
a wellness
policy? The wellness policy must include goals for
nutrition education and physical activity, and guidelines that
will
promote student health and reduce childhood obesity--and
parents,
teachers, students and administrators should be working together
on
this policy. Download this brochure for more information.DRAFTNYCDOEWellnessPolicy2010.pdf

SchoolFood Partnerships
SchoolFood Managers, Principals,
Parent
Coordinators, other school staff, parents, and students can
also
collaborate to enhance the dining experience via SchoolFood
Partnership meetings.
