Free and Reduced Lunch Program
This is and income based program that helps out families who cannot pay for their kids lunch. It reduces the cost of school lunches for low income families. I think this is a very important program because it gives every kid a chance to eat a healthy lunch. It makes kids feel more comfortable and energized at school because they get a good lunch to eat. I think it is a very good program but should be strictly enforced to make sure people aren't abusing it. -
Special Milk Program
This program gives all students free milk at school everyday. The program reimburses the school for every milk used. I think this program is very important because everyone needs milk. It is also a good way of getting kids to drink milk with easy access. Students are more likely to drink the milk since it is free to them. -
Child Nutrition Act
This is an act by the government to feed the students nutritious and healthy food. It makes the lunches at school have more nutrition. Also, the lunches at school are all healthy items. I think it is very important because all students need healthy meals. If they get healthy meals then they will be energized and ready to learn. -
Breakfast Program
This program gives all students a chance to have a healthy breakfast at school every morning. It is very smart because a lot of kids don't have time to eat breakfast before school. I think it is very important because it gives all students a chance to eat breakfast. It is convenient for students because they can just get it when they get to school. It also gives them a nutritious meal because some breakfast's don't. -
DoD Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program
This program gives fresh fruits and vegetables to schools in the US. It delivers the fresh fruits and vegetables straight to the schools so students are getting very nutritious fruits and vegetables. It is very important because if it was not for this program, students would have to eat fruits and vegetables with less nutrition. It also makes students more interested in eating them because they are fresh. -
Let's Move! Program
This program gives advice to parents and kids on how to live a healthy lifestyle. It gives them important information on what foods to eat. Also, it gives a lot of information about what nutrients are in what foods. I think it is very important because most average people don't know a lot about nutrients and what foods to eat. If it wasn't for this program, a lot of kids would not be getting the nutrients they need.
