1. In 2019, the National School Lunch Program provided almost 22 million children with free or low-cost lunches daily, and the School Breakfast Program gave over 12 million children free or low-cost breakfasts daily.
2. Despite challenges like bus schedules and early classes, schools are finding creative ways to increase breakfast participation, like grab-and-go options and serving breakfast in classrooms.
3. Family Costs: The weekly expense for school meals surpasses $67, considering the cumulative costs, for families with three school-aged children.
4. Portion sizes are designed to meet 1/3 of the recommended daily calorie allowance, with no limit on second helpings of fruits or vegetables. This allows students to fill up on a variety of nutritious foods.
5. Cafeteria staff often begin their day before dawn to start food preparation, ensuring meals are ready for lunchtime.
At Cardinal Local Schools, we are committed to making sure every student has access to healthy meals during the school day. A special thank you to our incredible cafeteria and nutrition staff who work hard every day to prepare and serve meals that keep our students fueled and ready to learn.
