Taste Testing Fun!
Mrs. Bogel's 3rd grade classroom had the fun task today of taste testing new PB&J sandwiches for our county. Here are pictures from the festivities:
The students enjoyed taking part in a taste test that could effect what all of the children in Forsyth County might eat next year! They did a fabulous job and were very honest in their opinions of the food samples.
Thank you, Mrs. Vaughan (FNS Area Manager), for selecting our school for the Taste Test!
Thank you to Mrs. Bogel's class for being really good test-takers!

Breakfast - The Most Important Meal of the Day!
Breakfast really is the most important meal of the day for kids, as it provides the necessary energy to get set for a day of learning and achievement. Some of the benefits of eating school breakfast include:
Higher Academic Scores - studies have shown eating breakfast at school results in higher test scores.
Improved Behavior - Hungry children are more likely to have discipline problems.
Reduced Tardiness - Kids who eat school breakfast are late or absent from school less often.
Convenient and Value for Parents - School breakfast is ideal for busy families trying to get out the door quickly in the mornings, and is offered at a great price.
Health and Nutrition:
In early 2012, the USDA unveiled new nutrition standards for school meals (like breakfast) that prompted healthy changes in school cafeterias nationwide. Under the new standards, schools are: Offering more fruits and vegetables; increasing whole grain-rich foods; switching to fat-free or lowfat milk; limiting calories based on the age of children being served to ensure proper portion size; reducing the amounts of saturated fat, trans fats and sodium.
