Food Services Department is anxious to get back to the business of
</font></span><font face="Verdana" size="2">serving great food to the
children of Needham. Join the fun (for the HEALTH of it!) and eat lunch
at school. There is commitment to balancing great taste, variety, and
choice, with �healthy�. </font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 1px 15px" align="justify">
<font face="Verdana" size="2">Food Service Director, Ruth Griffin, RD,
LDN, plans the menus using creativity, input from her lunch chats with
kids, feedback from Cafeteria Managers, a love of food, and a nutrient
analysis program which analyzes the nutritional content of each item and
each complete menu. The nutritional analysis of the weekly menus looks
at the total calories, percent of calories from fat (always less than
30%), calories from saturated fat (less than 10 %), and the appropriate
level of protein, calcium, and vitamins A & C, for children at each
school level, as determined by the USDA. </font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 1px 15px" align="justify">
<font face="Verdana" size="2">Hopefully a copy of the menu has come home
with your child and is posted on your refrigerator. The menu frequently
includes new items to keep things exciting. The everyday options are
tuna sandwich, peanut butter and jelly sandwich, bagel or pretzel with
yogurt or cheese. Vegetable options are mini carrots, a fresh salad or
a vegetable. There is always a great selection of fruits (often: kiwi,
bananas, apples, oranges, grapes, melon, and a canned fruit). Encourage
your kids to try as many as they want! The Cafeteria staff is well
trained, sanitation certified, and proud of their food service. They
enjoy being an important part of your child�s day. (Isn�t lunch
sometimes the best part of <u>your</u> day???)</font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 1px 15px" align="justify">
<font face="Verdana" size="2">Moms have often thought that lunch
prepared at home was best option for their children. With school lunch
in Needham, the meal is always balanced, the variety is built in, and
can be a great opportunity to introduce children to new foods. Besides
that, it�s convenient and time-saving.</font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 1px 15px" align="justify">
<font face="Verdana" size="2">Milk is a very important food for kids; a
key source of calcium, and should be encouraged for all children who can
tolerate it. A variety of milk, including Lactaid milk, is also
available in the school cafeterias to purchase a la carte for those who
do bring their lunch, or to choose with school lunch. It�s cool to eat
at school!</font></p>

<font face="Verdana" size="2">A few healthy small-portion snack items
are available for elementary students to purchase: mini pretzels, low

This year, Friday will be the special day for ice cream bars or
popsicles (all small, low fat, or 100% juice products). These items
have been carefully selected to supplement, as opposed to taking the
place of, the healthy regular lunch menu items.</font></p>

is that, additionally, there is an extensive array of delicious entr�e
items prepared daily at these schools. The Pollard and High School
Cafeterias are each managed by highly qualified chef/managers and are
committed to running a food program focused on good-and
good-for-you-food that kids want. A sampling of lunch items available
might be: Deli roll-up sandwiches, chicken Caesar salad, Gourmet deli
sandwiches, 100% Beef Hamburgers, Veggie Burgers, Pizza, Chicken Patty
Sandwiches, and good-old Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwiches. The high
school has an extensive salad bar daily.</font></p>
