Shockingly, only 4% of children in America eat the recommended amounts of fruits and vegetables, while overconsumption of sugar and junk food is impacting their health. The good news? Diet-related diseases like Type 2 diabetes, obesity, and heart disease are largely preventable when kids develop healthy eating habits early. It’s much easier to build these habits in childhood than to try to change unhealthy behaviors later in life.

 

The key is making healthy choices the easy choice. When schools remove junk food, students get excited about fresh strawberries, watermelon, and colorful salads. It’s true—kids really do love fruits and vegetables!

 

At Lammersville Unified School District, our Student Wellness Policy promotes healthy lifestyles in many areas—physical education, school meals, fundraising activities, celebrations, school gardens, mental health support, and more. Federal law requires every K–12 district to have a Wellness Policy, and ours is designed to encourage lifelong healthy habits, prevent chronic disease, and ensure school meals meet federal nutrition standards.

 

Schools are the perfect place for students to learn healthy habits. Children spend six to seven hours a day at school, often consuming up to half of their daily calories there. That’s why our Wellness Policy focuses on creating an environment that makes nutritious choices easy and fun.

 

We know that healthy students are successful students. When kids are physically well, they can concentrate, learn, and thrive. By teaching lifelong wellness habits, we’re not just supporting our students—we’re building a stronger, healthier community for everyone.
