AS LUNCH PROGRAMS and
health education in South Bay
private K–12 grade schools rise to
meet the gourmet and academic
expectations of Bay Area families,

norms. Student programs now
encourage participation in the
planning of menu choice for school
and homemade lunches, and inservice
activities related to food.

basics and nutrition
to first-graders.
