National Nutrition Month® is an annual campaign created 50 years ago in 1973 by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.
During the month of March, everyone is invited to learn about making informed food choices and developing healthful eating and physical activity habits.
This year's theme is "Fuel for the Future." Eating with sustainability in mind is a tasty way to nourish ourselves during every phase of life and protect the environment.
We are excited to add "Fuel for the Future" through local purchasing and education. Be on the lookout for colorful learning boards developed for our students across Mason County in all cafes.
For more information regarding menus and child nutrition please visit https://boe.maso.k12.wv.us/page/child-nutrition

Mason County Schools finished National School Lunch Week with a Scratch Cook Training made possible through a grant provided by the WVDE. Cooks prepared many new recipes for lunch such as Chicken Bacon Ranch Subs, Chocolate Caramel Moo Brew, The Hulk Smoothie, Sweet Chili Chicken Wraps, and Chicken Lo Mein with Vegetables, just to name a few.
We would like to thank our cooks for the passion and hard work they put forth every day to provide sound nutrition to our children.
Fun Food Fact: Did you know kid’s favorites are now offered in healthier versions? Pizza is served on whole-grain crust with low-fat cheese and reduced sodium tomato sauce! The Healthy, Hunger Free Kids Act of 2010 enabled major improvements to school meals, bringing school meals in line with the latest nutrition science. By offering students familiar foods that are whole grain-rich, low in sodium and low in saturated fat, the school cafeteria is balancing nutrition and consumer demand.
