We Care About Your Health
Overview
An alarming number of our children lack physical activity and healthy eating practices. These unhealthy eating practices can have serious health consequences beginning during the school age years and continuing on throughout adulthood. One of the major consequences is the risk of becoming overweight.
Healthier Choices
Bay Village Schools Food Service is making sure all snack offerings are at or below 35% fat content and 35% sugar content by weight. Healthier menu and a la carte items include vegetable and fruit plates, baked chips, and many other low-fat, low-sugar items.
We comply with new Federal Rules for School Lunches.
Every snack item offered is reviewed for nutrition quality and nutrition standards. Please feel free to contact the food service department if you have any questions, comments, or concerns at 440-617-7472.
Local Efforts
The Bay Village City School system has developed a local wellness policy. The Bay Village wellness committee was comprised of the superintendent, administration, board members, food service personnel, teachers, community members, along with students, and developed these guidelines to support the ten goals of the committee.
These goals include:
Nutrition education
Physical activity
Eating environment
Nutrition guidelines for all foods on campus
Other school-based activities
Our recently added computerized lunch scan system allows for speedier lunch lines giving students more time to relax and eat.
New school menu changes are in the best interests of our students’ health, and they also put the school district in compliance with new federal regulations we must follow to continue to benefit from our participation in the federal lunch program.
