Recognizing the importance of improving school food and its potential role in enriching education, HCPSS Food and Nutrition Services Department is pleased to announce the launching of a “Healthy Meals” initiative.  As part of this initiative, HCPSS is putting salad bars in all elementary schools. Northfield will have a "serving line" salad bar with fresh fruit and vegetables.  Additionally, Food and Nutrition Services will be increasing the options of healthy entrees from 25 to 34 choices to promote healthy eating by providing a wider variety of appealing and nutritious meals. 

As a nationally recognized Health and Wellness school, Northfield is excited about these changes for the 2017-2018 school year.  Kudos to the HCPSS Food and Nutrition Services department for helping to create a healthier school environment for our students!
