The Child Nutrition and WIC Reauthorization Act of 2004 requires all school districts across the country to develop wellness policies by the beginning of the 2006-2007 school year. Wellness policies must include goals for nutrition and physical education as well as guidelines for foods and beverages served throughout the school campus. Wellness policies provide a great opportunity for school foodservice operators and others to enhance efforts to promote a variety of fruits and vegetables both in the lunch room as well as in other venues where foods and beverages are offered or sold.
The National Alliance for Nutrition and Activity (NANA) has developed a set of model wellness policies that can be used by school districts in the development of their policies that can be found at www.schoolwellnesspolicies.org
This pdf file provides ideas on how to promote fruits and vegetables throughout the school and is based on the fruit and vegetable policies included in the
NANA Model Wellness Policies. |
