Efforts in St. Paul schools to serve nutritious lunches are getting props on a national level, according to the
Pioneer Press.
On March 26, an official delegation comprising state and federal representatives dropped by Crossroads Elementary to see it in action.
The delegation wanted “to learn more about the district's all-out health-food kick and its bid to get a head start on stricter federal school lunch rules, announced earlier this year,” the story states.
New USDA guidelines require schools receiving federal funding to cut down on sodium and boost whole grains, an area where St. Paul schools are ahead of the curve, according to the story.
