Edmonds School District

To help students make healthy choices, the Edmonds School Board adopted a Nutrition, Health and Physical Fitness Policy. Procedures have been put in place that address how this policy is put into action. The District Wellness Committee developed the policy and procedure to stress nutrition education, encourage students to make healthy choices and live active lifestyles.

The policy and procedures are in response to state and federal requirements but are also the right thing to do. Poor nutrition and inactivity affect children’s health and their ability to learn. Schools provide perfect opportunities to model and reinforce healthy behaviors by encouraging healthy food choices that are consistent with nutrition recommendations along with physical education and activities.

A representative of the District Wellness Committee monitors the sales of food sold to students on campus during the school day to ensure compliance with the Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act of 2010 Smart Snacks regulation. Student stores, vending machines and foods sold a la carte by the Food and Nutrition Services department are inspected annually.
