Lunch and Nutrition

Children bring their own lunches except on Thursday when they have the option of ordering pizza that is served with raw carrots and apple juice. Please send a balanced lunch containing an item from each basic food group. These groups include protein, fruits and vegetables, grains, and dairy. We discourage foods or drinks whose main ingredient is sugar as well as those containing excessive additives such as salt and colorings. Sodas are not permitted for students.

Evergreen strives to be "earth friendly." Therefore we ask that students bring lunch boxes and reuseable containers rather than bags and containers that will be thrown away. Older children should be encouraged to wash these containers as one of their chores.
