                      Center Schools Healthy Foods Plan-
                       Fun Foods & Snack Alternatives:

  • Healthy Foods Plan: In compliance with the Colorado School's Wellness Policy with embedded Nutrition Standards, Center School's Healthy Choice Plan is a guideline to help increase awareness of the fat & sugar content in the foods that we eat. 
  • Rewards: Candy or other high-sugar, high-calorie or high-fat items will not be used as incentives. Great options for rewards are: stickers, pencils, fun erasers, etc. 
  • Fundraising: At least 50% of all school fundraisers must be non-food based. Great examples include: walk-a-tons, recipe books, and a jump rope challenge. 
  • Celebrations & Events: All school events and celebrations involving shared food will focus on healthy offerings. 75% of the food & beverages at classroom parties & special events will be low-fat, low-sugar items.
