Awards for Innovation in the Preparation of School Meals and Nutrition Education
New scratch-made menu items like Arroz Con Pollo and Strawberry Chocolate Muffins, paired with student feedback tools, brought fresh flavor and fun to the cafeteria—earning district-wide acclaim.
CUSD Food & Nutrition's Fuel the Future video series and parent engagement events earned recognition for promoting healthy eating habits through student voices and community connection.
All students eating school lunches are encouraged to Build Your Tray The Healthy Way by taking at least 3 of the food items offered on the lunch menu.
One of these items must be a fruit or vegetable. All CUSD breakfasts and lunches contain the 5 components of a meal: Grain, milk, protein, fruit and vegetable. Students must take 3 components to complete a full meal. Encourage your student to take all 5 components since the cost is the same whether they eat all 5 items or 3! USDA regulations require that a fruit or vegetable be on every tray. This requirement is based on the USDA's Choose My Plate nutrition education promotion. This requirement states that a plate must contain half a plate of fruit and vegetables, a quarter plate of grains and a quarter plate of protein, and a low fat dairy option.
