December 2012 Our Mission Statement:

Clean Hands

Encourage your children to keep germs from spreading by wash-ing their hands before eating or preparing food. They should wet their hands and spend 10-20 se-conds lathering with soap, then rinse and dry. Help them gauge the time by singing “Happy Birth-day” twice as they wash.

Harvest of the Month (HOTM) - is a program offered

through California Department of Public Health and is

featured at eight of MUSD school sites. This pro-

vides an opportunity for the students to sample

produce that is in season. By exposing students to a

variety of produce it increases the likelihood that

they will learn to enjoy a variety of foods that are

rich in health benefits.

When produce is in season it is at its peak of

freshness, providing the greatest sources of vitamins,

minerals and antioxidants. In addition, the produce

that is in season is typically fea-

tured at the local grocer at a re-

duced price, making it more eco-

nomical for families. The produce

featured in December includes:

Mandarins, oranges, grapefruit,

broccoli, cabbages, sweet pota-

toes, beets and dry beans.

Nutrition Services hosts a very well developed website with a tremendous amount of useful information available. There are two ways to access the site:

mantecausd.net musdnutrition.net

The website features a translation button on the top right corner, which allows users to translate to a language that is comfortable to use. There are a number of articles written by registered dietitians regarding sports nutrition, healthy recipes and fun family activities. Teacher resources are also available, which include PowerPoints, games, lesson plans, and activity sheets. All of Nutrition Services menus and nutrition information are posted on the website for easy access. There are links to other beneficial websites, including the American Cancer Society, Center for Disease Control, and United States Department of Agriculture. Contact information for the Nutrition Services Department is also available if you have any questions or concerns. Please take the time to visit our website!
