FOOD SERVICES
You’ve been working hard, and you're hungry! What’s for breakfast? What’s for lunch?
We know that students who are well-fed are more mentally alert and ready to learn than those who are not; they are happier, do better in school, and excel above others. So we do our best to make sure that your child receives the nutrition he/she needs. Oakwood ISD’s participation in the National School Lunch Program means that we offer our students nutritionally balanced lunches daily.
TIPS FOR PACKING A HEALTHY LUNCH
You are also welcome to pack a healthy lunch for your child to take to school and eat in our cafeteria. As you plan for these meals, take a look at these tips to help your child get the best out of every school day.
Choose whole grain bread over the white, processed variety, which helps blood sugar stay stable over the course of the afternoon.
To mix things up try whole grain wraps, bagels, sandwich rounds, or tortillas.
Limit sugary drinks. Evidence shows that limiting them and other sugary treats at home actually leads to better choices when they are on their own at school.
Be sure to include some quick and easy-to-eat fruits and vegetables. Cutting them up ahead of time makes it more likely that your child will eat them.
