SCHOOL FOOD SERVICES
The Bellmore-Merrick Central High School District participates
in the United States Department of Agriculture Federal Child Nutrition
Program. School lunches must meet 1/3 of the dietary guidelines
for Americans, which recommend no more than 30% of calories from
fat and less than 10% calories from saturated fat. Regulations also,
establish a standard for a school lunch to provide 1/3 of the established
recommended dietary allowance of protein, vitamin A, vitamin C,
iron, calcium and calories for a specific age group. One five day
week of the menu is calculated and averaged to insure the menu meets
the requirement.

Bellmore-Merrick Central High School District participates
in the Choose Sensibly campaign. This campaign is a proactive approach
to applying the dietary guidelines to snack & drink purchases.
It recognizes the role of the consumer in school, the value of education
and information to help make informed choices and follows dietary
guidelines to choose foods to support good health. It also recognizes
some foods are better nutritional choices. For those students who
wish to consume snack products which contain no food additives or
MSG, we offer a variety of all-natural snacks on the service line.
Our vending machines will offer snacks which fall under the "Choose
Sensibly" guidelines.
Ala-carte breakfast offerings are available at the
high schools.
