The Food and Nutrition Services department supports learning by promoting healthy habits for lifelong nutrition and fitness. Food and Nutrition Services believes that healthier students are better learners, so they are committed to providing students with foods that promote a healthy body and mind. The FNS department has always had a strong focus on teaching students the importance of eating a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables.
