Healthier Lunch Options
This petition is to draw attention to the fact that students at District 6 schools in Greeley do not have healthy lunch options. They also do not have vegetation options aside from cheese pizza.
Hopefully we can get better, healthier food choices in our schools. This is important because good nutrition = better grades, athletes, and kids!
It would be nice to see salads (with and without meat) fresh, ripe fruit, and whole grain breads, and pastas.
Dear Nutrition Services of School District 6,
We the undersigned are starting a petition on behalf of all the kids in Greeley who are concerned with their health and the lack of healthy food choices available to us in the District 6 schools. I do understand that the majority of teenagers make poor food choices, however there are a handful of us who do like to eat healthy foods. The breakfasts are wonderful, however the lunch choices are severely lacking in vegetables, ripe fruit, and whole-grains.
I am a free-lunch student and a vegetarian. I can tell you my personal experience. In the last week, I have had to eat cheese pizza 4 times (the only vegetarian thing available) and the day there was none left I had to eat salad with the chiken picked off. This is not okay for a vegetarian. I am sure I am not the only one who feels this way and I am starting this petition to urge you to please cater to us healthy students as well.
HEALTHY KIDS=BETTER GRADES AND BETTER ATHLETES
Thank oyu so much for giving us your attention and reading our letter.
