School Nutrition

"The Mission of the School Nutrition Program is to be a partner in the educational process by providing quality meals at a reasonable price and nutrition education opportunities for students that promote healthy children, Ready to Learn. Through good nutrition and healthy habits, every child in Thomas County Schools will be challenged, prepared and successful."


 

The School Nutrition program provides breakfast and lunch to help children get the nutrition they need to learn, grow and develop. After school snacks are provided for after school tutorial programs. Nutrition goals of the Thomas County School Nutrition Program must be in compliance with the United States Department of Agriculture. Menus must adhere to strict guidelines issued by USDA. The menus must meet USDA nutrition goals when averaged over a school week. Each meal planned must provide the required(USDA) number of food components and food items and meet the nutrient standards for the age/grade group served. We welcome the opportunity to provide students with nutritious, appetizing meals at school. Research has proven that a hungry child cannot learn. Our employees look forward to serving the students of Thomas County. USDA and Thomas County Schools are equal opportunity providers and employers.
