LOSD Nutrition Mission Statement
LOSD Nutrition Mission Statement
Our vision is to create a community of health. In our community of schools, we feed our students high-quality, nutrient-dense meals that they LOVE to eat. By providing healthy and delicious school meals paired with nutrition education, culinary education, and education about local agriculture, we help lay the foundation for our students to be healthy eaters for life. We know families play a vital role in the health of our community. In our district, we provide community resources including events, newsletters, and recipes because everyone's health matters. Good meals start with good ingredients. We source our ingredients responsibly and support local and just food systems that reflect our community's values and minimize the negative impact on the environment.
