Neptune Nutrition & Food Services
The Board of
Education recognizes the importance of both healthy eating and physical
fitness. To that end the district’s Wellness Policy expresses the community’s
commitment to providing the following:
- Access to healthy school
meals
- Nutrition education
- Opportunities for active
physical activities during and after school
- Community input to a
comprehensive Wellness Policy
All meals served in school cafeterias meet the extensive
nutritional requirements established by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and
the New Jersey Department of Agriculture’s Office of School Nutrition. These
include:
- A variety of fruits and
vegetables
- Whole grain products
- Reduced fats and salt
- Serving sizes
appropriate to the age group
Neptune also participates
in the U.S. Department of
Agriculture’s National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program. This provides access to
free or reduced price meals for families that meet federal income requirements.
