Nutrition & Physical Activity Report
January 2017
Campbell Co. High School walking track and weight room are available for student use after school hours. All elementary schools are aggressively improving student movement. Campbell Ridge Elementary School now has a walking/activity trail.
School level PTA/PTO groups as well as the district have supported major improvements to all playgrounds. Our playgrounds are modern, safe and available for public use.
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.
Campbell County Schools are dedicated to serving nutritious meals and providing multiple physical activity opportunities as a means of helping our students reach proficiency.
Intense physical activity programs have positive effects on academic achievement , including increased concentration; improved mathematics, reading, and writing test scores; and reduced disruptive behavior.

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 aims for variety and allows 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 elsewhere in 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 a 1% increase from school year and 56% ate lunch which is 2% decrease from school year at school. Our target Goal is 30% for breakfast & 70% for lunch.
Offer at least two or more choices of fruits at breakfast and two or more choices of fruits and/or vegetables at lunch for all students.
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.
