Wake County Public Schools W ake County School's Child Nutrition Program is a service with the sole purpose of getting students ready to learn. Children who aren't hungry feel better, learn better, and behave better.
Nutrition is essential for effective learning every day, all year long.
Our aim is to provide attractive, appetizing, and nutritious meals daily. We plan meals high in complex carbohydrates to be sure to keep calories high enough for growing children while cutting the fat and sugar. School meals include foods from all levels of the Food Guide Pyramid. Common sense tells us that good nutrition contributes to a child's ability to learn, and a growing body of experimental evidence backs up this judgment.
