The School Nutrition Program is a part of the National School Lunch and Breakfast Program and it is designed to safeguard the health and well being of our nation’s children, utilizing USDA commodities, and to provide nutritionally adequate meals at affordable prices to all school children. Lunch provides one-third (1/3) of the recommended dietary intakes and breakfast provides one-fourth (1/4) of the recommended dietary intakes.

Menus are planned centrally by a Registered Dietitian (RD).  The SNP is proud to announce that our menus meet the Healthier US School Challenge (HUSSC) guidelines and the current dietary guidelines for Americans.  

“Meatless Mondays” is another SNP healthy initiative implemented in all elementary schools to increase dietary fiber, reduce fat and to increase the consumption of dried peas and/or beans. 

J. G. Smith ES received national recognition from the Alliance for a Healthier Generation because the met the goals and objectives for the Bronze Level Award during the 2009-2010 SY.
