The OUSD Wellness policy aims to create a healthy school environment for all students and staff by promoting nutritious meals, physical activity, and wellness education.
OUSD is committed to providing access to healthy food to all students in OUSD schools throughout the day. Healthy food gives the body the nutrients it needs to maintain health, feel good, and have energy. Access to healthy food and beverages in school is important because children pay better attention in class, build good eating habits, and are less likely to develop chronic disease. Everyone in our community has a role in helping our students succeed! Learn more about how with this handout.
How can your school support a school culture that integrates health through food and gardens in 2025?
We encourage you to integrate these resolutions into your work at your school site in order to encourage healthy food and beverage choices and environment, food, and garden (EFG) programming for students, staff, and communities at OUSD school sites. Brought to you by the EFG Programs team at The Center.
