WELLNESS AND NUTRITION EDUCATION
Classrooms have many celebrations throughout the year from birthday celebrations to holiday parties. With these celebrations, often comes unhealthy food, which can contribute to unhealthy eating patterns. However, with the help from teachers, parents, and school staff the focus can be shifted from unhealthy food to healthy fun!
For more information on SMJUSD's Wellness please see the district policy.
SMJUSD focus's on serving local foods whenever possible. We source directly from farmers and food producers in SLO County.
2021 Award Summary: San Miguel Joint Union School District will partner with Shandon Joint Unified School District and the California Wheat Commission to procure whole grain wheat from California farmers, use a mill to process the wheat, and then make fresh baked goods and use a pasta extruder to make fresh pasta for school meals. The district will also foster collaboration between the Food Services Department and Agriculture Department to educate students in the school garden program about how to plant and grow wheat, fruits, and vegetables that are used in the school kitchen. Additionally, the district will work with the California Wheat Commission to incorporate whole grain growing, milling, and processing into existing school curriculum.
