Nutrition Program

The St. John High School Nutrition Program is run by an enthusiastic group of staff, students, and community volunteers. In partnership with “Food For Thought,” this program provides healthy Breakfast, Snack and Lunch options for our students.  All students are welcome to participate, free of charge in the Nutrition Program.

 

In addition to providing healthy food choices the Nutrition Program also helps students to develop Healthy Eating habits through Nutrition Education in the classroom. Outside the classroom, students are encouraged to participate in a variety of programs and activities including helping with the daily operations of the Nutrition program, and food preparation.

 

Students can help themselves to healthy foods and snacks from three easy to access refrigerators: one is located in the atrium and two others are in the intermediate wing. Healthy foods in our fridges include whole wheat bagels, muffins, milk, juice, cereal, yogurt, apples, oranges, bananas, cheese, hummus, guacamole, melba toast and hard-boiled eggs.
