GCSS School Nutrition Statement:
The Gainesville City School System School Nutrition Program (SNP)
strives to provide excellent service in the GCSS cafeterias. There are
many things that make our nutrition program wonderful and unique. SNP
provides breakfast and lunch to ALL students AT NO COST. For lunch, GCSS
SNP strives to offer a nutritious and filling meal to every student.
Each breakfast and lunch contains healthy proteins, whole grains, fruits
(fresh or chilled), two (2) vegetable choices (lunch only), and milk.
This combination provides students with fuel for learning and nutrients
to help keep them healthy. The SNP staff are trained and work hard to
prepare foods in healthy ways that are in compliance with health safety
standards. To make our selections healthy, SNP maintains that all food
is baked or steamed - never fried, either batched cooked or commercially
prepared for school nutrition, fresh or frozen when affordable, thus
reducing the sodium.
