The Arkansas School for the Blind Child
Nutrition Program serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner. These meals
are served daily to students while on campus - at NO COST to the
student or parents of the student. The primary goals of the
Nutrition Program are to plan, prepare, and serve well-balanced tasty meals
and to make healthy
food choices. These meals comply with Federal regulations and the
meal pattern required for the National School Lunch and Breakfast
Program, with emphasis on lowering salt, fat, and sugar content in
the meal.
The ASB cafeteria serves
a wide variety of foods for every meal. Students may select a
choice from the steam table, or visit the fresh and well-stocked
salad bar - or both. The salad bar offers vegetables, fruit salads,
fresh fruits, dips, and additional entrees. Also, there is plenty of
that good old standby - peanut butter.
When students are on
field trips or other special activities off campus, the excellent
Child Nutrition staff prepares sack lunches for each student to
the same quality as meals served on campus.
Special dietary plates
may be coordinated with the Child Nutrition staff and parents. Just
contact
Barbara Cole for more information about this service.
