Whole School, Whole Community, Whole Child Model
Schools, health agencies, parents, and communities share a common goal of supporting the health and academic achievement of adolescents. Research shows that the health of students is linked to their academic achievement. By working together, the various sectors can ensure that every young person in every school in every community is healthy, safe, engaged, supported, and challenged. - CDC
Campbell County Schools are dedicated to serving nutritious meals and providing multiple physical activity opportunities as a means of helping our students reach proficiency in all areas of life.
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 academic achievement and the physical well-being of students.

2. Nutrition Areas for Improvement Physical Activities Recommendations
National School Lunch
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. These guidelines promote meal quality while commodity donations help the farmer and help schools keep down meal prices.
Our lunch meals are planned according to federal regulations that require minimum portion sizes of meat, fruit, vegetable, grains/breads and fluid milk for breakfast and lunch. We offer fresh fruits and vegetables every day. The menus aim for variety and allow us to make the most efficient use of the donated commodities. We offer 1% and skim milk, as well as 100% fruit juice.
An analysis of our lunch menus is found within this report card.
The table below provides a synopsis of the lunch program, including participation and financial data.
School Breakfast
The School Breakfast Program (SBP) was established in School districts receive federal reimbursement for each school breakfast served that meets the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s nutrition guidelines.
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.
“Protecting children’s health and cognitive development may be the best way to build a strong America.”
-- Dr. J. Larry Brown, Tufts University School of Nutrition

Nutrition Areas for Improvement
Improve breakfast and lunch participation. 18% of our students ate breakfast which is the same as the school year and 55% ate lunch which is a 1% decrease from school year. Our target Goal is 30% for breakfast & 70% for lunch.
Menu changes to be based upon student surveys & input in order to increase participation.
Physical Activities Recommendations
Teachers should make reasonable efforts to avoid long periods when students are physically inactive.  When possible, physical activity should be integrated into learning activities.  When that is not possible, students should be given periodic breaks during which they are encouraged to stand and be moderately active.
