MENU CHANGES

Our Spring menus are featuring streamlined

entrée choices. We have identified the “kid-

favorite” for the hot entrée each day, and we

continue to offer the ever-popular “grab &

go”, Munchable entrees and fresh salads as

choices, too. We have non-meat entrees

available as choices throughout the week.

OFFER vs SERVE, what’s that?It’s a requirement that we offer all of therequired meal components (protein, grain, fruit,vegetable and milk) Several choices of fruitsand vegetables are served EVERY DAY. So,rather than serving every student the samefoods, a student can MAKE CHOICES on whatthey like to eat or what they want to try, whichminimizes unnecessary food waste. While someitems can be declined, students must have 2 fullmeal components PLUS at least a serving of fruitor vegetable.

SPECIAL DIETARY ACCOMODATIONSFor those students who have a medically documented disability due to a severe food allergy that

restricts their diet, there is an established procedure to assist them to enjoy school meals.

Parents should visit with the school nurse to complete the Food/Allergy Care Plan which requires

medical information signed by a licensed physician and then consult with the cafeteria manager

and School Nutrition department dietician.

NOTE: Parents should review the list of ingredient statements posted on the Food and Nutrition

website at the bottom of the menu page. Here’s the link: http://www.forsyth.k12.ga.us/page/400“This institution is an equal opportunity provider.”

Getting regular physical activity provides a

host of benefits for both body and brain.

Physical activity improves muscle strength,

builds strong bones, makes hearts healthier

and keeps germs at bay.

What many kids (and adults) don’t know is

that being active also improves the brain’s

ability to stay alert, concentrate, process

information, solve problems and reduce

stress.

The key to keeping active is to discover what

you enjoy doing, whether it is a team sport,

playtime at the park, dancing to your favorite

music or simply running around the yard with

your friends.

Our weather has been beautiful; hopefully it

will stay that way, so go outside and play!

Let’s eat Breakfast!

CABBAGE

•1 big green cabbage, cut into 1″ thick slices

•3 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil

•5 large garlic cloves, minced

•Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

ROASTED CABBAGERoasted cabbage tastes completely different than boiled cabbage. Have your family try it and see if you agree! It’s a great compliment to any St. Patrick’s Day meal.

1.Preheat your oven to 400 F.

2.Brush both sides of each cabbage slice with the olive oil.

3.Spread the garlic evenly on each side of the cabbage slices, and season them to taste with

salt and pepper.

4.Roast in your oven for 20 minutes; then turn the slices over and roast them again for another

20 minutes or until the edges are crispy.
