Nutrition & Physical
Activity Report Card
2007
The data presented above is a summary from the
assessment of our physical activity environment.
NEW: Morningside has incorporated dance in their
physical activities. NEW: Helmwood implemented a
walking program after lunch. Students walk around the
outside of the building. On bad weather days, students
walk in place in the classroom or participate in some
other form of physical activity for at least 5 minutes.
Physical Activity & Achievement
Schools play a crucial role in influencing physical activity
behaviors. Sound curriculum, policies, and facilities
create an environment encouraging students and staff to
engage in a variety of physical activity opportunities.
Evidence supports a correlation between SAT scores and
the physical well-being of students.
Intense physical activity programs have positive
effects on academic achievement , including increased
concentration; improved mathematics, reading, and
writing test scores; and reduced disruptive behavior.

Performance, Pediatric Exercise Science
IMPROVEMENT PLAN FOR 2007:
Morningside: To increase the number of students
eating breakfast. Two teachers at Morningside have
already incorporated breakfast as their beginning day
activity. Helmwood: Students will take stretching
breaks between content studies.
The Elizabethtown schools are
dedicated to serving nutritious
meals and to providing multiple
physical activity opportunities
as a means of helping our
students reach proficiency.

The Nutrition Report Card was prepared using the
Kentucky Department of Education Standards and
Indicators for School Nutrition Programs.
National School Lunch
School Breakfast
The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) was conceived in
1946 as a “measure of national security to safeguard the health
and well-being of the Nation’s children.” School districts receive
federal reimbursement for each school lunch served that meets
the United States Department of Agriculture nutrition guidelines.
Federal regulations require minimum portion sizes of meat, fruits
and/or vegetables, grains/breads and 8 oz. of milk. These
guidelines promote meal quality while commodity donations
assist the farmer and help schools keep down meal prices.
The School Breakfast Program (SBP) was established in
1966. School districts receive federal reimbursement for
each school breakfast served that meets the U.S. Department
of Agriculture’s nutrition guidelines.
NEW: Lunch menus at the elementary and middle school
are planned on a three-week cycle to include a variety of
healthy choices students enjoy.
Two entrée choices are available for grades K-8 and 5
entrée choices are available for grades 9-12. Menus
include more whole grain products and desserts are
offered only once a week.
NEW: Deep fryers have been removed from the EHS
kitchen. Since changing from milk cartons to plastic
bottles in 2005/2006, student milk consumption has
increased 10%.
Studies show that children who participate in the School
Breakfast Program have significantly higher standardized
achievement test scores than non-participants. Children with
access to school breakfast also had significantly reduced
absence and tardiness rates.

programs and meal promotions that prove good
nutrition can be FUN. NEW: Monthly parent
newsletter, “Nutrition Nuggets”.
Vending: Beverage machines are not available for
use by elementary students. Middle and high school
beverage machines are closed until the end of the
instructional day. All after-school vending is
compliant with 02KAR006:090. NEW: Student
snack machines have been removed.
Health Inspections: The local Health Department
inspects our kitchens twice each year. A HACCP
food safety plan has been developed and all kitchens
are HACCP compliant.
Students with special dietary needs must have a doctor’s statement on
file with their school Cafeteria Manager. (7CFR 15B)

Coordinated School Health Committee: NEW:
This committee developed and will monitor the
newly adopted Student Welfare and Wellness
Policy. The committee consists of representatives
from each school, Family Resource/Youth Services,
Food Service, Student Services, parents and local
health care professionals.
A USDA study showed students who eat school meals are
more likely to consume milk, meats, grain mixtures and
vegetables compared to students who did not, including
students who brought meals from home. Also, students who
eat school meals have higher intakes of some vitamins and
minerals, including calcium and Vitamin A -- nutrients that
tend to be “problem nutrients” for kids.
Cost-wise, schools work very hard to make sure that school
meals are a good value. Take a look at the number of items
typically offered to students at lunch. It takes a real balancing
act to beat that value with a bag lunch.
