NUTRITION AT SCHOOL

Lakeside’s Food Service and Education for Life-Long Health

Mission

The mission of the food service department is to offer a variety of food choices taking into consideration the diversity of Lakeside and the wants and needs of the community for nutritional, excellent quality meals, while providing an affordable selection of choices. Our staff is honest, ethical and professional with everyone in the Lakeside community - students, faculty, staff, and parents with keeping an open line of communication at all times. Our department encourages and values constructive input (positive or negative) that will help us to excel in making Lakeside's food service the best it can be in a private school setting.

Our Values

Quality Food - Using the highest quality food afforable and giving constant attention to taste, appearance, proper temperature and attractive  
   presentation.

Service - Providing prompt, courteous and efficient service, keeping an open line of communication at all times.

Safety - Being committed to training, maintaining awareness and enforcing regulations to make our kitchens a safe place to work.

Financial Responsibility - Promote efficient, cost-effective management practices and constantly look for new ideas and ways to improve our
   food and nutrition program.

Communication - The commitment of all food service staff to share ideas and values which allows staff members to succeed, to be treated with     

  respect, and to be recognized for our efforts.

Overall Objectives and Practices

The food service offerings at Lakeside will include optional breakfast, full lunch, and morning and afternoon snacks, so that students will have food available to them throughout the day, including during the time before late afternoon athletics practices, consistent with our understanding of the nutritional needs of adolescents. Though the fat content of individual meals may vary above or below the target, the menus are planned to aim for no more than 30 percent of calories derived from fat sources, as current FDA and AMA recommendations suggest. When a full lunch includes soup, salad, entree, low-fat milk, and dessert, the percentage of fat will stay below the 30 percent mark (depending on the salad dressing chosen). Food service management intentionally works to lower the amount of fat and empty calories service, including using no saturated fats in cooking except in deep-fat frying where hydrogenated canola oil is necessary to withstand higher temperatures. Higher-fat entrees (e.g., hamburgers or grilled cheese sandwiches) are offset by lower-fat accompaniments (lentil soup, marinated vegetables, fresh fruit), and vegetarian alternatives are frequently offered (e.g., garden- or bean-burgers when hamburgers are served). A variety of beverages offered includes three kinds of low-fat milk, a number of different juice choices, and bottled waters in addition to soda pop.

Specific Practices

• Vegetarian soup is available every day, and specialty soups are also available. Vegetarian options are also commonly offered as a substitute for a meat entrée. Several kinds of cold sandwiches are also served daily; all meats are real and are low in fat, and a vegetarian sandwich and occasionally low-fat tuna salad are also provided.
• Rice is available every day when space allows an á la carte option.
• Salad bars provide low-fat and nonfat dressing options, and fresh fruit is offered as a dessert choice every day.
• Students have the daily choice of fresh bagels or whole-grain breads for high-carbohydrate snacks.
• Supply and demand dictates that some "empty-calorie" snacks are offered at times.
• In the Middle School, cookies and snacks are served after 10 a.m. if students wish to purchase them; most snacks have some nutritive value. Soda pop will not be available until after second lunch
• At the Upper School, snacks and soda pop are served all day long, but candy bars are not sold until the last class of the day is over.

Conclusion

Healthy eating habits take time to grow, and adolescents are not always going to make the healthiest choice for something to eat when they’re hungry and distracted. However, with nutrition education raising student awareness in the dining rooms and health classes, and with thoughtful practices in menu choices and food preparation, students will have a foundation for changing their eating habits as they mature to promote their lifelong health.
