St. Mary Parish School Wellness Policy

St. Mary Parish School Wellness Policy On June 30, 2004, Congress passed Section 204 of Public law 108-265, of the Child Nutrition and WIC Reauthorization Act of 2004. This law requires each local education agency participating in a program, authorized by the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act (42 U.S. 1751 et seq.) or the Child Nutrition Act of 1966 (12 U.S.C. 1771 et seq.), to establish a local school wellness policy by July 1, 2006.

Whereas, children need access to healthful foods and opportunities to be physically active in order to grow, learn and thrive; Whereas, good health fosters student attendance and education; Whereas, obesity rates have doubled in children and tripled in adolescents over the last two decades, and physical inactivity and excessive calorie intake are the predominant causes of obesity; Whereas, heart disease, cancer, stroke, and diabetes are responsible for two-thirds of deaths in the United States, and major risk factors for those diseases, including unhealthy eating habits, physical inactivity, and obesity, often are established in childhood; Whereas, more high school students should participate in sufficient vigorous physical activity and attend daily physical education classes; Whereas, very few children (2 to 19 years) eat a healthy diet consistent with the recommendations from My Plate; Whereas, nationally, the items most commonly sold from school vending machines, school stores, and snack bars include low-nutrition foods and beverages, such as soda, sports drinks, imitation fruit juices, chips, candy, cookies, and snack cakes; Whereas school districts around the country are facing significant fiscal and scheduling constraints; and Whereas, community participation is essential to the development and implementation of successful school wellness policies; Thus, the St. Mary Parish School District is committed to providing school environments that promote and protect children’s health, well-being, and ability to learn by supporting healthy eating and physical activity. The St. Mary Parish School District has appointed (no specific person has been named) to coordinate and assess the implementation of a wellness policy. Therefore, it is the policy of the St. Mary Parish School District that:

1. The school district will engage students, parents, teachers, food service professionals, health professionals, and other interested community members in developing, implementing, monitoring, and reviewing district-wide nutrition and physical activity policies.

2. All students in grades K-12 will have opportunities, support, and encouragement to be physically active on a regular basis.

3. Foods and beverages sold or served at school must meet nutrition requirements. 4. Qualified child nutrition professionals will provide students with access to a variety of affordable,

nutritious, and appealing foods that meet the health and nutrition needs of students; will accommodate

the religious, ethnic, and cultural diversity of the student body in meal planning; and will provide clean, safe, and pleasant settings and adequate time for students to eat.

5. To the maximum extent practicable, all schools in our district will participate in available federal school meal programs (including the school Breakfast Program, National School Lunch Program, Summer Food Service Program).

6. Schools will provide nutrition education and physical education to foster lifelong habits of healthy eating and physical activity, and will establish linkages between health education and school meal programs, and with related community services.

Federal and State Requirements The St. Mary Parish School District will:

1. Offer a school lunch program with menus that meet the meal patterns and nutrition standards established by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Louisiana Department of Education, Office of School and Community Support.

2. Provide school breakfast and snack programs (where approved and applicable) with menus that meet the meal patterns and nutrition standards established by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and Louisiana Department of Education, Office School and Community Support.

3. Encourage school staff and families to participate in school meal programs. 4. Operate all Child Nutrition Programs with school foodservice staff who are qualified according to

current standards. 5. Establish food safety as a key component of all school food operations and ensure that the food service

permit is current for the Food Service school site. 6. Follow State Board of Education policies on competitive food and extra food sales (refer to Appendix

A). 7. Establish guidelines for all foods available on the school campus during the school day with the

objective of promoting health and reducing obesity (see” Other School Policies”).

School District Policies The St. Mary Parish School District will provide:

1. Adequate time for breakfast and the recommended 30 minutes for lunch. 2. Whole grain products that are high in fiber, low in added fats, and sugars, and served in appropriate

portion sizes consistent with the current USDA standards. 3. Fresh, frozen, canned or dried fruits and vegetables using healthy food preparation techniques and 100

percent fruit or vegetable juice. 4. Nonfat, low-fat, plain and/or flavored milk and yogurt, nonfat, reduced fat and/or low-fat real cheese. 5. Nuts, nut butters, seeds, trail mix, and/or soybean snacks. 6. Healthy food preparation techniques for lean meat, poultry, and fish. 7.

between students and adults; with supervision of eating areas by adults who model proper conduct and voice level; and with adults who model healthy habits by eating with the students.

Other School Policies The St. Mary Parish school district will: 1. Eliminate use of foods as rewards for student accomplishment. (See appendix B for reward

alternatives.) 2. Encourage serving healthy food at school parties. Notices shall be sent to parents/guardians either

separately or as part of a school newsletter, reminding them of the necessity of providing healthy treats for students and/or encouraging the use of non-food treats for classroom birthday or award celebrations. (See appendix C for healthy school parties.)

3. Strongly discourage selling food items of limited nutritional value as fundraisers, such as candy, cupcakes, or sugar beverages. (See appendix D for healthy fundraising alternatives.)

4. Strongly encourage nutritious and appealing options (such as fruits, vegetables, nuts, beef jerky, reduced-fat milk, reduced fat-yogurt, reduced-fat cheese, 100% juice and water) whenever foods/beverages are sold or otherwise offered after school at sporting and academic events, celebrations, social events, after school care, and other school functions.

5. See Guidelines for Food and Beverages Offered to Students (Appendix E and Act 331 in Appendix F)

Food Marketing

School-based marketing should be consistent with nutrition education and health promotion. As such, it is recommended that schools limit food and beverage marketing to the promotion of foods and beverages that meet the nutrition standards for meals or for foods and beverages sold individually. School-based marketing of brands promoting predominantly low-nutrition foods and beverages is strongly discouraged. The promotion of healthy foods, including fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and low-fat dairy foods is encouraged. Marketing activities that promote healthful behaviors include: vending machine covers promoting water or milk; pricing structures that promote healthy options in vending machines, and sales of fruit for fundraisers. The goal of improving nutritional intake can also be accomplished by applying basic marketing strategies to sales of healthful options. Schools can consider the four P’s when establishing guidelines for foods and beverages served or sold during the school day:

Product: Vendors and companies have increasing numbers of products available-many with a more healthful profile than traditional snack foods and beverages.

Placement: The sales of more nutrient-rich foods and beverages can be increased by placing them in “prime” locations-like at students’ eye level in a vending machine.

Price: Another way to increase the sale of healthful items is to offer them at a lower cost. For example, water can be sold for $.25 to .50 less than other drinks or increase price of non-healthy items and decrease the size of the time.

Promotion: There are many creative ways to promote healthy options-like offering samples of new healthful products or giving discount coupons during the introductory period; or designating healthy choices in vending machines and school cafeteria by using school mascot symbol.

Nutrition Education

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) advocates the need for school-based nutrition education. Because a high percent of all children and adolescents are enrolled in school, the classroom environment is ideally suited to give students the skills and support needed to adopt healthful eating behaviors for life. Teachers, food service personnel, and other staff can offer their expertise and model appropriate eating behaviors. Additionally, students have opportunities to practice healthful eating behaviors at school. Collaboration among school food service staff, teachers, the community, families and institutional services is necessary. There are two broad approaches to school-based nutrition education – traditional classroom lessons that address general knowledge, attitude, and behavior – and behavioral change programs based on social learning theory. Using both venues is recommended for optimal impact. Nutrition education can be integrated into content area instruction across the curriculum including science, mathematics, English/language arts, and social studies. The alignment of nutrition lessons with standards and benchmarks provides for easy integration of the information into routine instructional planning. Integration of nutrition information into teaching content areas should use the resources of the classroom, the school, and the community. Nutrition education also is part of health education, which enables students to acquire knowledge and skills needed to practice good health. A planned, sequential curriculum is essential. Behavior change can be enhanced through social learning theory, as well. Social learning theory may include a parent component for younger students and peer involvement for older students. The St. Mary School District will:

1. Promote and implement nutrition education programs that promotes lifelong healthful eating practices; 2. Use lessons that are age-appropriate, behaviorally focused content that is developmentally appropriate

and culturally relevant; 3. Use lessons that are sequential and are correlated with standards, benchmarks, and grade level

expectations; 4. Provide hands-on activities that are fun; 5. Provide repeated opportunities for students to taste foods that are low in fat, sodium and added sugars

and high in vitamins, minerals and fiber; 6. Focus on positive aspects of healthful eating behaviors; and 7. Promote social learning techniques such as role modeling, providing incentives, developing social

resistance skills, overcoming barriers to behavioral changes and goal setting. 8. Strive toward hiring qualified, certified health education teachers. 9. Provide staff development for teachers, faculty and staff.

Physical Education

Both regular physical activity and nutrition mutually contribute to healthy citizens and reduce the incidence of diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, depression, obesity, and other chronic health problems. Federal Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend that children and teenagers be physically active for an accumulation of at least 60 minutes daily. Since children spend the majority of their time at school during weekdays, it is imperative that schools provide students with the means to participate in physical activity.

When examining Physical Education programs, ask the question, “Does the physical education program help every students attain the knowledge, skills and attitudes needed for them to lead an active, productive life and maintain a health-enhancing level of physical fitness?” Quality physical education programs include the following components: 1. Emphasizes knowledge and skills that promote a lifetime of physical activity. 2. Is based on standards that define what students should know and be able to do. 3. Keep students active for most of the class time. 4. Provides many different physical activity choices. 5. Meets needs of all students, especially those who are not athletically gifted.

6. Features cooperative, as well as competitive games. 7. Develops students’ self-confidence and eliminates practices that humiliate students. 8. Assesses students on their progress in reaching goals, not on whether they achieve an absolute standard. 9. Promotes physical activity outside of school. 10. Teaches self-management skills, such as goal-setting and self-monitoring. 11. Actively teaches cooperation, fair play, and responsible participation in physical activity and is an

enjoyable experience for students. 12. Focuses, at high school level, on helping adolescents make the transition to a physically active adult

lifestyle.

In Louisiana, Act 814 passed in 2003 to require that public schools for grades K-6 provide 30 minutes each day of quality activity. Act 734, passed in 2004, revised Act 814 wording to require 30 minutes each day of quality, moderate to vigorous physical activity for students. Implementation of Act 734 requirements began with the 2004-2005 school year. The St. Mary Parish School District will: 1. Promote and implement quality physical education programs that emphasize and promote participation

in lifelong physical activities and reaching a health enhancing level of physical fitness among all students.

2. Provide students in grades K-8 with a minimum of 150 minutes per week of health and physical education.

3. Ensure that students in grades K-6 participate in planned, organized, moderate to vigorous physical activity for a minimum of 30 minutes each school day.

4. Strive toward having qualified, certified physical education teachers guide physical activity instruction in all elementary grades as well as in middle and high school physical education classes.

5. Provide staff development on standard implementation for physical education instructors. 6. Ensure that adequate safety policies and provisions are in place for physical education programs. 7. Strive toward ensuring that adequate equipment is in place to guarantee that all students are able to be

active for a minimum of 30 minutes per school day. 8. Provide a variety of fitness training, motor skills, and team work modules in the 270 hours of physical

education required at the high school level for graduation. 9. Use a recognized instrument on program such as Fitnessgram®, to evaluate student’s physical fitness. 10. Provide age-appropriate equipment and facilities for implementing quality physical education programs.

Physical Activity Opportunities

In order to improve health and fitness of our students and to prevent childhood obesity, we must put increased emphasis on the importance of physical activity for students. The following recommendations are made in the best interest of students recognizing that schools, parents and communities will need to be creative in finding additional opportunities and resources for physical activity outside physical education classes. The St. Mary Parish School District will provide opportunities for physical activity:

1. Recognize that daily physical activity is essential to student welfare and academic performance. 2. Encourage physical activity during recess for elementary students, intramural programs, integration in

the academic curriculum, and clubs as well as in physical education programs. 3. Provide daily recess for all children in K-8th grade. 4. Work with the community to create ways for students to walk, bike, skateboard, roller-skate, play soft

ball, basketball, baseball, or participate in other physical activities in a safe location at times other that the school day.

5. Encourage parents and guardians to support students’ participation in physical activities, to be physically active role-models, and to include physical activities in family plans.

6. Encourage school staff to participate in physical activities to serve as role models. 7. Support community-based physical activity programs.

Be sure to include Louisiana Association for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance (LAHPERD) as a resource.

Implementation/ Evaluation

1. Each school will establish a School Health Council (SHC) composed of a minimum of five members including but not limited to: Principal/ or Principal Designee Teacher Nurse and/ or P.E. Teacher Parent Representative (PTA) Cafeteria Manager Community Representative

2. The SHC will be responsible for assessing the level of implementation of the St. Mary Parish School

District Local Wellness Policy by reviewing site-based nutrition education, physical activity, and other school-based activities that are designed to promote student wellness. This review will be conducted during the Fall Semester each school year. Areas to address for health and nutrition promotion include: school meals, a la carte cafeteria sales, vending machines, student stores, concession stands, classroom parties/ special events, and fundraising events. In addition to examining student food sources, the SHC will also review how wellness education is incorporated into the school’s curriculum and school environment. Emphasis will also be placed on utilizing the cafeteria as a classroom and community resources.

3. A report will be composed by the SHC detailing the results of the review. A plan of action for the

school’s wellness program will be developed by the SHC and submitted to the district designee.

4. The district level designee will compile and analyze the report from the SHC and report the findings to the St. Mary Parish School Board.

APPENDIX B Alternatives to Using Food as a Reward

At school, home, and throughout the community kids are offered food as a reward for “good behavior. Often these foods have little or no nutritional value but are easy, inexpensive, and can bring about short-term behavior change. There are many disadvantages to using food as a reward:

It undermines nutrition education being taught in the school environment. It encourages over-consumption of foods high in added sugar and fat. It teaches kids to eat when they’re not hungry as a reward to themselves.

Remember: *Kids learn preferences for foods made available to them, including those that are unhealthy. *Poor food choices and inadequate physical activity contribute to overweight and obesity.

Students Learn What They Live

Kids naturally enjoy eating healthy and being physically active. Schools and communities need to provide them with an environment that supports healthy behaviors. Below are some alternatives for students to enjoy instead of being offered food as a reward at school.

ZERO-COST ALTERNATIVES

Sit by friends Watch a video Read outdoors Teach the class

Have an extra art time Enjoy class outdoors Have an extra recess

Play a computer game Read to a younger class Get a no homework pass

Make deliveries to the office Listen to music while working Play a favorite game or puzzle Earn play money for privileges

Walk with a teacher during lunch Eat lunch outdoors with class

Be a helper in another classroom Eat lunch with a teacher or principal

Get “free choice” time at the end of the day Listen with a headset to a book on audiotape

Have a teacher perform special skills (i.e. sing) Have a teacher read a special book to the class

Give a 5-minute chat break at the end of the day

LOW-COST ALTERNATIVES Select a paperback book

Enter a drawing for donated prizes Take a trip to the treasure box (non-food items) Get stickers, pencils, and other school supplies

Receive a video store or movie theatre coupon .Get a set of flash cards printed from a computer Receive a “mystery pack” (notepad, folder, sports cards, etc.)

APPENDIX C

Healthy School Parties

School can play a major role in helping students become fit, healthy and ready to learn. One way to accomplish this is for foods offered in schools to support lessons learned in the classroom regarding nutrition and physical activity. What better venue than schools-which have a great impact on children-to support the message that proper nutrition and physical activity are a key part of a healthy lifestyle? Positive examples of making healthy eating choices and encouraging physical activity should be visible throughout the school. Parties as well as cafeterias, school stores, vending machines, and after-school events offer opportunities for schools to reinforce the message that making healthy food choices and being physically active means a healthier body and a sharper mind.

Snack Ideas for School & Classroom Parties Of course, the foods offered at school parties should add to the fun, but try to avoid making them the main focus. Remember, schools are responsible for helping students learn lessons about good nutrition and healthy lifestyles and students should practice these lessons during school parties. For example, consider combining student birthday parties into one monthly event that incorporates physical activities as well as healthy snacks. Also, be sure to consider ethnic and medical food restrictions and allergies when providing classroom snacks. Here is a list of healthy snack choices to consider for classroom events. Serving all healthy foods and incorporating physical activities make a powerful statement. Actions speak louder than words. Lead by example. Fresh fruit and vegetables (buy locally when possible) Baby carrots and other vegetables with low-fat dip Yogurt - Trail mix* - Nuts and seeds* - Fig cookies Animal crackers - Baked chips - Low-fat popcorn Granola bars Bagel with low-fat cream cheese Soft pretzels and mustard Pizza (no extra cheese and no more than one meat) Pudding String cheese Cereal bar Single-serve low-fat or fat free milk (regular or flavored) Bottled water (including unsweetened flavored water) 100% fruit juice (small single-serves) *May be allergens and/or a choking risk for some people. Please check with a health care provider.

APPENDIX D

Smart Fundraisers for Today’s Healthy Schools

Raising money may present a constant challenge for schools. School fundraisers my help pay for computers, field trips, athletics, music, art and other programs that educate and enrich young lives – important programs that are not always covered by shrinking school budgets. More than just raising money to pay for valuable programs, a well-run fundraiser call also is an experience that educates, builds self-esteem, provides community service, and promotes school and community spirit. Fundraising doesn’t have to involve selling food items of limited nutritional value, such as candy. Following are web sites and fundraising ideas that offer alternatives to selling candy. When healthy food choices are used as fundraising items, the healthy eating message presented in the schools is reinforced. Some of the ideas even have the added benefit of providing additional physical activity opportunities for students. Take a look and help your school select a creative fundraising alternative to selling foods of limited nutritional value. Search the Web Select a search engine and type in “school fundraisers” to access 112,000+ sites: A few of these sites follow: www.afrds.org/homeframe.html Association of Fund-Raising Distributors and Suppliers, Site includes a Toolbox with “Fundraising Fundamentals,” a checklist for evaluating fundraising companies, and a resource on product fundraising issues and trends. www.PTOtoday.com Lists fundraising activities by categories, has a “work vs. reward” equation, contains a parent sharing section on “what work, what doesn’t and why.” www.fundraising-ideas.com Offers free newsletter with programs, services, and press releases.
