  1. Pres. Jenny Lawrence, Foods Manager John Travolta, District Nurse Lora Jennings, Nutrition Expert Pierre Lesaunne, Harrison Ford IV: S.D.N.S Vice President Charleston School District Problem: President Jenny Lawrence

  2. Students have a lack of healthy food options in the lunchroom including vending machines and school provided lunch. A byproduct of unhealthy options have led to unsatisfactory performance from students in both physical and mental activities The average cumulative GPA has dropped and teachers have noticed out of control energy (after lunch) and unmotivated tired children (sugar crashes) during later class activities Students are eating pizza and French fries due to the lack of healthy choices during lunch period(s). Problem? *GAASP* Guidelines and Criteria: Harrison Ford IV

  3. In order to make a change to the format that creates the school lunches we have to create a plan that fits into the “School district nutritional standard” (Or the SDNS) that was established in 1996, as well as an acceptable budget passed by the school’s district committee. The food that is served must be appealing to the student body of the school. A variety of options must be presented in order to appeal to all aspects of the food pyramid. The food needs to be affordable, the school must be able to provide beneficial aid towards students who need them, making sure all students have equal opportunity towards a healthy diet. Guidelines and Criteria Nutrition Expert Pierre Lesaunne

  4. Offer water and juices in the vending machines instead of soda Lower fat % content in milk beverages and no flavored milk options (Such as reducing 2% milk to a skim or 1% milk!) Use whole grains in every meal Take junk food options out of vending machines (add granola bars and low-sugar options) Install a salad bar Smaller sizes of soda available in machines Require fruit and veggie options Offer string cheese as a side option at lunch Only allow pizza and junk food options two days per week Possible Solutions District Nurse Lora Jennings

  5. Offer water and juices in vending machines Contacted vending machine company to change options in machines, eliminated some of the soda options to 12 ounces. No flavored milks Offered only plain milk in all cafeterias Install a salad bar Have a salad bar installed with veggie and fruit options for a healthier choice Select and Implement Nutrition Expert Pierre Lesaunne

  6. Offer water and juices in the vending machines • Students tended to buy more water when it was available in the vending machines. No flavored milks • Students still bought milk even though the other flavors weren’t offered. Install a salad bar • Many students really enjoyed using the salad bar and it was very popular. Improved learning environment • Better evaluations with GPA and energy through-out the school day. Evaluate Listed Solutions
