 ABOUT
NUTRITION SERVICES
Students
in GCISD are served a wide variety of meals that are nutritionally
sound, as well as delicious. Meals are analyzed for nutritional
content and meet the RDA for each age/grade level. Student/parent
input is utilized annually and menu adjustments are often
made. Healthy snack choices are provided and nutrition education
classes are part of the GCISD curriculum.
GCISD
Nutrition Services department is self-supported by the money
from meals and other items sold in campus cafeterias. Healthy
eating habits are formed early in life and can provide a strong
foundation for the eating habits we adopt as adults. Students
at GCISD are encouraged to make daily food choices that emphasize
fruits, vegetables, whole grains, milk products and lean sources
of protein.
GCISD's
Nutrition Services staff prepares over 11,000 meals each day
for the students and promotes healthy eating choices with
food options such as Good 4U entrees, which provide less than
30 percent of calories from fat, as recommended in the
Dietary Guidelines for Americans.
Our
goal is to help your child feel better today and stay healthy
for tomorrow. We hope that students will make smart choices
from every food group, find a balance between food and physical
activity and get the most nutrition out of their calories.
Thank you for the opportunity to serve your child this school
year.
