Back to School: What is Your Child Eating for Lunch?

The return of children heading back to school is not that far away. It will be time to start choosing what to include in your child's school lunch or what days he/she will be eating breakfast or lunch at school. It is important for your child to eat healthy and nutritious food and snacks so that he can be alert during class and concentrate better on his studies. 

It is ideal to keep the school lunch menu up on the refrigerator or a place where both you and your child can see what the school is serving. Some schools even offer the menu online .With the school lunch menu in plain sight, you can decide which days of the month your child will be eating. This can also help out with the family food budget in the household, so you know how much to spend on buying items for your child's school lunch. 

Ideal items to include in a school lunch can include a lunch meat sandwich or PBJ, fresh fruit (apple, peaches, grapes, etc), a snack such as pudding or jell-o and fruit juice or water to drink. If your child is taking his/her lunch to school, be sure there is a place in his lunch box or bag to store an ice pack to keep the lunch cold and to prevent spoiling. 

For families on low income, be sure you ask about Free School Lunch programs for your child. Free school lunch programs can also be available for breakfast (for schools who serve breakfast). You can be sure that your child receives a balanced meal for both breakfast and lunch at no extra cost to you.
