ABC Elementary School    

Staff Healthy Food & Beverage Policy   

The staff at ABC Elementary strives to promote health and wellness by being a role model to promote healthy food and beverages. Creating a healthier school environment is reflected in the food and beverages served at school staff functions.  

The following food and beverage policy applies to all school staff meetings and events:  

1. All foods and beverages provided will be 100% healthy*. 2. No sugar‐sweetened beverages will be provided.  3. Water will be provided in pitchers (or readily available nearby.) 4. A physical activity break will be conducted every 2 hours. 

 *Guidelines adapted from the UC Berkeley Guide to Healthy Meetings and Events http://www.uhs.berkeley.edu/facstaff/pdf/healthmatters/healthymeetings.pdf 

 Foods Food selections should emphasize fruit, vegetables, whole grains, and nonfat or low fat dairy products. 

− Include lean meat such as skinless poultry, fish, beans, and tofu, or eggs, nuts, and seeds. 

− Include a vegetarian option; consider a vegan option for larger groups. − Select food with no trans fat, and low in saturated fat, sodium, and added sugar. − Choose food that is prepared by grilling, baking, or sautéing with healthy fats. − If dessert is provided, choose fruit or other healthy options. − Serve healthy portions.  

 Beverages Water should always be included, preferably served in bulk containers such as water pitchers rather than individual plastic bottles. Other healthier beverage choices include (when possible, serve beverages in bulk): 

− Non‐caloric beverages such as coffee or tea. − Carbonated water or iced teas, flavored or unflavored, with no added sweeteners. − Nonfat or 1% milk or dairy‐free alternative (soy & rice milk, Lactaid).  

 

Availability of Food Offer food only at meetings that take place during usual meal times or are more than three hours in length. Otherwise, beverages such as tap water, coffee, and/or tea are suggested.  If food is offered as an incentive for meeting attendance, offer fruits, vegetables or other low‐calorie, healthful food options.

ReThink Your Drink This Summer!

Commit to a Healthier You! Plan and set goals to maintain your family’s healthy habits throughout the summer. Celebrate SFUSD ReThink Your

Drink week with your family: May 11-15

WHY: Kids are drinking too many

sugary beverages. “31% of San Francisco Unified

School District’s 5th

grade students report drinking one soda or sugar sweetened beverage a day.”

–Data Source: ES CHKS, 2011 One 20oz soda bottle can contain

68 grams of added sugar - that‘s 17 teaspoons of sugar!

HOW: Instead of drinking soda, commit

to drinking: o Water (everyday — all you want!)

o Non-fat or Low-fat Milk

o 100% Fruit Juice (limit juice to 1/2 cup daily)

o Unsweetened Iced Tea Use a calendar to chart your family’s

soda free days. Celebrate at the end of the summer with

a fun physical activity such as: playing tag at the park, walking along the beach, tossing a football, or dancing to the radio.

May Harvest of the Month:

努力維持健康體格! 訂下目標和計劃，確保你和家 人在今個暑 期 能保持健康的生活習慣。

跟家人一起慶祝三藩市聯合校區 的反思飲品選擇週: 5月11 -15日

為什麼:

兒童飲得太多高糖飲品 。

在三藩市聯合校區，31%的5年級學 生

每天有飲用一罐汽水或含糖飲品的 習

慣。”–資料來源: ES CHKS, 2011

樽20盎司裝的汽水就含有 68 克附加 糖，等於17 湯匙的糖!

怎樣做: 代替汽水，我們應多飲用:

o 清水 (每天 — 你所需的飲料!) o 脫脂 或 低脂奶

o 100% 純果汁 (每天限飲1/2 杯) o 無糖冰茶

在日曆上標示你家人沒有飲過汽 水的日子。

在暑期末，以有趣的體育活動 來慶祝一番: 在公園玩捉人遊戲、在海灘漫步 、拋擲美式足球或隨音樂跳跳舞。

¡Comprométase a ser más saludable!

Planifique y establezca metas para mantener hábitos saludables en su familia durante el verano.

Celebre con el SFUSD la semana para reflexionar

sobre lo que bebe, del 12 al 15 de mayo

POR QUÉ:

Los niños consumen demasiadas bebidas azucaradas.

El "31% de los estudiantes del Distrito Escolar Unificado de San Francisco en 5ºgrado, informan que beben una gaseosa o bebida azucarada al día”. (Datos de : CHKS ES, 2011)

Una botella de gaseosa de

20oz puede contener 68 gramos de azúcar - que equivale a 17 cucharaditas de azúcar.

COMO: En vez de beber

gaseosas, comprométase a beber: o Agua (al gusto todo el día) o Lecha sin grasa o baja

en grasa o Jugo de fruta 100% natural

(limite el jugo a ½ taza diaria) o Té helado sin azúcar

Utilice un calendario para marcar

los días sin tomar gaseosas. Al final del verano celebre con una

actividad física divertida tal como: jugar a corretearse en el parque, caminar en la playa, jugar con una pelota o bailar con la música de la radio.
