Nutrition

Fergus Falls Public Schools are continually working to improve the quality of the the food we serve and the food environment at school. Students also learn about good nutrition practices in their curriculum at school. It is our hope that students will be responsible not only in their interactions in the world but also learn to make responsible choices when caring for themselves.
