Eating healthy foods in school

School is about to start. You may be gearing up for open house soon so your son or daughter can meet the new teacher and see the classroom. Then some of us may be in the boat that our child is switching schools, like mine. So, either way you want what's best for them. Everything from learning those important subjects such as reading, math, science, and writing.

What about those social skills that our children need as well? What about healthy foods? Well, if you have not already done so, I would ask for nutrition information from your school. Some schools will provide a weekly or even monthly serving plan. If not, you should know.

Stay up to date on the latest information for eating healthy in schools and school nutrition.

Here is one source that is a national site to gather information from.
http://www.schoolnutrition.org/

I wish you and your children good luck on getting geared up to go back to school. As you're out shopping looking for the shoes, pencils, paper, etc., keep in mind and inquire about the school nutrition during your schools open house.

Our oldest is 5 but he wont be starting kindergarten this year. We haven't yet decided whether we are homeschooling or not plus we want him to have another year at home to mature if we do end up sending him to school.
I actually just received a book for review called Lunch Lessons. Wow, was that an eye opener. I can send it to you when I am done if you want to read it.

I understand about keeping the 5 year old home. I kind of wish we had done that with our 9 year old. I would definitley be interested in seeing it when you're finished. I hope your foot is better after that bee sting.

Thanks again and talk to you soon.
