The White County School Nutrition Program is pleased to provide nutritious meals for all students and staff in our schools. Students are offered several nutritious choices of breakfast, lunch, and snack daily.

Parents and the community are welcome to join us for meals in our cafeterias. Please call the school lunchroom managers in advance to make reservations.

The School Nutrition Program also participates in the education of students by providing resources to the teachers in the area of nutrition, manners, and personal hygiene.

Research has shown that children who suffer from undernutrition perform poorly on perceptual, cognitive, and psychological tests. Poor nutrition increases absenteeism. Children who consume diets inadequate in protein are less able to learn, have lower intelligence quotients, and poorer language development. Research also indicates that eating breakfast results in improved student attention spans. It is our purpose to provide one-third (1/3) of the students' daily nutritional needs with each breakfast served and one-third (1/3) of the students' daily nutritional needs with each lunch served. A hungry child cannot learn.
