“Join the Super Smile Team!

Dear Parents, RSU 40 Health Services, along with the Maine Oral Health Program, has declared February 7, 2014, as “Sugar-Out Day.” Your child’s school lunch program will not be serving sugary dessert type foods like chips, ice cream, pudding, or cookies on “Sugar-Out Day”. We are asking you to help by being sure that your child brings a non-sugary snack and lunch to school on “Sugar-Out Day”. Why not join your child in observing “Sugar-Out Day” by giving up sugary foods too!

Students and staff who bring their own lunch will be encouraged to go sugar-free.

Join us in celebrating “Sugar Out Day” with your families!

Dental disease is a costly health problem in Maine. Tooth decay is preventable. One step in breaking the chain of decay is to cut down on the amount of sugary foods and drinks your family eats. Sugar mixes with the germs in your mouth to form an acid. The acid eats away your teeth. If “acid-attacks” happen too often, the teeth are weakened and cavities start. There are many foods we eat daily that have “hidden” sugars. These sugars include honey, molasses, corn syrup, dextrose, fructose, and sucrose. It may be hard to change your eating habits by choosing foods and drinks without sugar; however, you can read food labels and replace sweet, sticky, starchy snacks such as candy, raisins, potato chips and soda with fresh and canned fruits (without heavy, sugary syrup), vegetables, popcorn, cheese and yogurt. Most children like these foods and they make great low sugar snacks to take to school too! Thank you for your help and support for a brighter, healthier smile for life!!

Thank you to this weekʼs Lunchroom Helpers! Abbey, Serena, Anya and Shelby!
