Foods for school celebrations often include unhealthy choices such as cupcakes, candy, cookies and soda. While there is nothing wrong with an occasional treat, unhealthy foods are often the norm rather than the exception. Parties, food rewards, food fundraisers, and school stores often include foods that are low in nutrients and high in fat, added sugars and sodium. Birthday parties and\/or classroom celebration food items must meet USDA Smart Snack Standards and be prepared in a commercial kitchen.\u00a0 Our School Board\u2019s Wellness Policy and Procedure 8510<\/a> <\/span><\/span>\u00a0was recently updated to comply with USDA Local School Wellness Policy<\/a><\/span><\/span> requirements.
