Subject: Resources for Child Nutrition Programs

    The Child Nutrition Program Administration Office has a new, abundant supply of resources available at no charge to all schools participating in any of the child nutrition programs. The new items on the Child Nutrition Resource Order Form are noted with an asterisk. The posters and brochures promote the current dietary guidelines, and convey positive messages regarding good health, nutrition, portion control and physical activity to our students.

We are also pleased to make available to you the seven beautifully laminated posters created by the New York City  Department of Education shown below. We obtained one set of four posters created for their elementary schools and one set of three posters created for their middle and high schools. Each of the New York City posters comes with five Velcro stickers for mounting on your walls. You may want all seven for each of your schools. They will enhance your serving areas or cafeterias, as the signage is bright and colorful.

To place an order, print the resource order form, complete it with desired quantities, indicate your name, school and address, and then fax it to the number listed at the bottom of the form. Our goal is to fill the orders as soon as they are received. Please email sragule@mail.nysed.gov with questions.
