National School Lunch Act

In 1906, in-school social work programs were integrated into New York City schools in hopes to bridge the gaps between schools and the communities in which they served. Since then in-school social workers has become more that just school and community liaisons but also the liaisons between the home and school, caseworkers, confidants, advocates as well as truancy reporters. In 1946, the National School Lunch Act was established and signed into law by President Harry S. Truman. This policy mandated

In 1946 the United States implemented the National School Lunch Act or NSLA which established the National School Lunch Program. This law was enacted to ensure school aged children would get a meal that met minimum nutritional standards which was set by the federal government. The NSLA also ensured that no child would go without eating even if they couldn’t afford to pay for a lunch. The NSLA has since expanded this program to include the Summer Food Service Program, the Child and Adult Care

America is the children of America, and their education level. According to the National Center for Children in Poverty, “about fifteen million children in the united states, twenty-one percent of all children, live in families below the federal poverty threshold,” (www.nccp.org). Majority of these children will go to school hungry, which will affect their performance in school. The National School Lunch Program provides lunch to help feed them and keep them focus during the day. This program also benefits

students in over 100,000 schools in the United States changed quite dramatically (What). The beloved junk food in the vending machines, high calorie lunches, and sugary drinks sold at schools were forcibly removed. Through the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) made the first major changes in school meals in 15 years (School). Although the initial reaction from students has been quite negative, this program is beneficial to schools and will fulfill its goal

According to the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act, the goal of the National School Lunch Program is “to safeguard the health and well-being of the Nation’s children and to encourage the domestic consumption of nutritious agricultural commodities and other food, by assisting the States in providing an adequate supply of foods and other facilities for the establishment, maintenance, operation, and expansion of nonprofit school lunch programs”.1 NASW Code of Ethics One

More? In Apache Junction, AZ, more children are beginning to either not eat lunch at all or bring it from home. They do have a good reason for not wanting to eat the school lunches. Larger schools are capable of providing students with a healthy lunch that they will eat; nevertheless, smaller schools do not have the same luxuries. Lunches are often rotten or even less heathy then that of a burger from McDonalds. Good lunch programs are hard to come across and often expensive, but despite this there

that is now in jeopardy with the Trump administration. One specific legislation that is in danger is the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act (HHFKA). Under the Trump administration, the lobbying group, School Nutrition Association, had announced recommendations in early March to reduce federal nutrition standards for which Michelle Obama campaigned (CNN, 2017). The School Nutrition Association suggested that the meals prepared should be healthy, appealing meals and specifically recommended that the USDA

Serving lunch to school children began with private organizations making donations to a handful of schools. In the peak of the 20th century, concern over children’s nutrition caused balanced meals to be provided to students during their lunch hour. Philadelphia began to serve lunches for one cent in 1894. Eventually their penny lunch program was extended to eight other schools throughout the city. In January 1910, schools in Boston began serving lunch to elementary school students three days a week

An open campus lunch program is when, during the lunch period, students are permitted to leave campus and get lunch from local businesses or even home. At Urbana High School we currently have four lunch shifts, during which students pack or buy lunches. I believe Frederick County Public Schools should start an open campus lunch program for seniors because the school lunches are not healthy enough or appealing and do not have enough lunch options. The benefits that could come from this program go
