We offer chocolate milk in order to add variety. We offer a variety of different nutritional milk choices in the district. It is up to the parent to decide which kind of milk they direct their child to drink. Chocolate milk tends to be viewed as a treat that most children do not get at home. Offering it encourages children to drink their milk, and thus establishes a habit of milk drinking that may last a lifetime.
All chocolate milk served in the elementary program is nonfat.
Lowfat white and whole white milk are also offered. The child nutrition department is continuously offering staff training sessions to all levels of the child nutrition team. Everything from understanding food and labor costs to the correct way to prepare specific foods is available. In addition to child nutrition training, there is also ongoing training in sanitation and safety awareness. The child nutrition department has an advisory committee made up of students, parents, teachers and administrators.
