In the Yakima School District, we are dedicated to promoting children's well-being and nutritional health. As part of our commitment to prioritizing child nutrition, we have implemented a comprehensive wellness policy that provides nutritious meals and creates a supportive food environment. Our approach ensures that children have access to balanced and wholesome meals, incorporating essential nutrients for their growth and development. Additionally, we collect valuable wellness assessment data better to understand each child's nutritional needs and preferences. This information allows us to tailor our meal programs and educational initiatives, empowering children to make healthy choices and cultivate lifelong habits contributing to their overall well-being. Through our child nutrition-focused wellness policy and assessment data, we strive to create a nurturing environment where children can thrive and reach their full potential.
