In response to growing concerns over obesity especially among our children the Bessemer City Schools Child Nutrition Program has joined many school nutrition programs across the State and Nation in an all out effort to align our daily menu choices to meet the guiding principles for eating healthier at school. Daily Menus are planned to provide opportunities for students to select and consume more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and nonfat or low-fat dairy products. This along with efforts made by the total school environment will certainly enable our students to make wiser choices for life-long health and wellness!
