Healthy Snacks Initiative (Cont.)
The PTSA’s healthy snack initiative has produced tangible 
results, with school concession stands now featuring an array of healthier alternatives such as fresh fruit and baked chips to their customers. Last year, the cafeteria and after school program showed a significant nutritional improvement in complying with the school’s Wellness Policy adopted in 2006, while most concession stands lagged behind. This year, however, concession stands have added many healthier items as called for in the Policy. Sincere thanks go out to Mr. Trafford, Athletic Director Mike Hickman and the booster organizations for working with the PTSA to make this project a reality.
The PTSA’s suggestions to gradually strengthen the nutritional requirements in the Wellness Policy were presented to the school Board of Directors in September, and referred to the policy committee for further review.
