Service, before service-learning was popular
PAST

Early Home Economics students prepared and served
meals in the cafeteria

Sigma Delta Omicron (the Home Ec club) catered
the grand opening of the new State Bank of
Southern Utah in 1971. After that it became a
yearly tradition to cater the banks annual
birthday party for the community.

catering projects benefiting the campus
community. Early leaders and advisors paved the
way for those yet to come.

Child Care Administration
  • Instructional slide presentation on food safety
  • (Designed for Child Care Directors to give or
    present to parents)

37
Solving theHome-Packed Problem
  • Presented by Corinne Judd

38
  • As parents, you naturally want to make sure that
    you are making the best choices for your
    children. However, too often by simply being
    uninformed we make decisions that may not be
    ideal for our children.

39
  • One example of this, of which this presentation
    would like to focus on, is what is called
    sometimes called the paper bag lunches problem.
    Now, let me first off explain that there is
    nothing wrong with sending our kids to school
    with a lunch packed from home. Home-packed
    lunches can be a good way to save money and meet
    other needs of your child. The problem occurs
    when we dont put much thought or effort into
    what is going into those lunch pails or brown
    paper bags. Often brown paper bag lunches are
    less nutritious than lunches that are bought in
    the schools cafeteria.

40
  • This fact is generally because the cafeteria
    must meet certain nutritious guidelines, where
    what is brought in the lunches from home could
    have very innutritious foods found in them.

41
  • This is often due to things such as
  • Parents catering to childs likes and dislikes
  • The smaller options of food that travel well
  • The large variety of quick, easy, unhealthy foods
    that can be purchased at the store.

42
  • The goal of this presentation is to help parents
    realize how they can make their childs meals
    healthier, but still have the child eat at a home
    packed lunch at school.

43
  • The quality of meal children eat in the middle
    part of the day can have a marked effect on their
    learning, and unfortunately many are not getting
    the proper nourishment for the task. This is
    largely thanks to hidden sugars and an increasing
    array of additives in the kinds of 'quick to toss
    in the box' snack foods that find their way into
    young ones' lunches on frantic mornings.
  • -Jonni Sharland in her article, Healthy
    Childrens Packed Lunches

44
  • As you look at the nutritional choices in your
    childs lunchbox, keep in mind the following
    pointers

45
1. Get your children involved and let them make
their own menu for the week.
  • This helps with pickiness and autonomy. If all
    their friends are eating chocolate bars, it will
    be difficult for them to watch and eat a
    healthier choice, but it will help for them to
    have something they picked out themselves and
    know that they like.

46
2. Include something sweet yet still relatively
nutritious in the meal.
  • Sweets wont be awful for your child to have,
    and actually if you avoid the sweets too much
    they can become a sort of forbidden fruit and
    become even more desirable when they get the
    opportunity to eat them.

47
3. Look for the possibilities.
  • Most schools dont have facilities available to
    kids to use for heating food, but check with your
    childs school. This could broaden the variety
    of choices your child can take to school.

48
4. Make children's lunchboxes fun and enjoyable.
  • Put different things in every day so children
    look forward to finding out what's in there
    lunchbox and don't get bored.

49
5. Include a main dish, a side, and a sweet.
  • In most homes, meals consist of a main dish, a
    side, and a sweet. Keep the same rule with meals
    for your childrens packed lunches.

50
Main Dish Ideas
  • Peanut butter and jelly is great, just make
    sure your using whole grain breads or tortillas,
    and all natural peanut butter. Skippy makes a
    good creamy all-natural peanut butter if your
    child doesn't like the graininess of most
    all-naturals.
  • Turkey(or other lean meat) and low fat cheese
    wrapped in a whole wheat tortilla. Pizza is a
    great option, especially if your child doesn't
    mind eating cold pizza. Use leftover pizza, or
    make your own with whole wheat English muffins or
    bagels.
  • Tuna or chicken salad in an whole wheat pita.
    For an added nutritional bonus use grapes,
    apples, or nuts in your salad.

51
Side Dish Ideas
  • Whole wheat pretzels, bagel or pita chips, or
    baked chips are a great alternative to fatty
    crackers or regular potato chips.
  • Dried fruit is an easy option as there is no
    cutting required. They provide about the same
    nutritional value, and they are less messy. Try
    raisins, cranberries, bananas, and apricots.
  • Nuts and seeds are a good source of iron and
    protein, but make sure you know the school rules
    where nuts are concerned. Some schools do no nuts
    at all, some do none as classroom snacks, and
    some only ban peanuts. Cashews, almonds, and
    sunflower seeds(no shell) can give children that
    crunchy saltiness they like so much.
  • Fruits and veggies with dip. Apples and peanut
    butter, carrots and low-fat ranch, and
    strawberries and yogurt dip are all good options.
  • String cheese or cut up low fat cheese with
    whole wheat crackers is one of my kid's staples.

52
Something Sweet
  • Whole grain muffins or breads are a great sweet
    treat for the kids. Try pumpkin, cranberry, or
    banana nut muffins.
  • Parfait it up with some yogurt and fresh fruit
    and top with a little granola or whole grain
    cereal.
  • Unsweetened or sugar free applesauce, jello, or
    pudding are great sweet treats that come in
    individual containers for easy packing.
  • Splurge a little every once in awhile with
    homemade cookies for a special treat.

53
Dont Forget the Drink
  • Nothing is better for young teeth than milk.
    Most schools offer milk cheaper than you could
    buy it individually. Other good options are
    water or 100 fruit juice.

54
  • No parent wants to pack a lunch that they doubt
    will be eaten. However this desire should not
    compromise the necessity to provide a nutritious
    meal for the children we love. Hopefully with
    these ideas and tips your children can be eating
    healthier, fun lunches and from that have the
    energy to conquer the remainder of their busy
    day!

The preface of this book begins Look again at
the books cover. The hand is holding something
that is going to grow. Even though it is small
right now, its roots will go deep and its
branches will spread. It will provide strength
or shade or beauty to its surroundings. It could
grow in a yard or a forest, but it will grow
because that is what it is meant to do. And, as
it grows, it will change the world around
it.Your students are the seedlings,You hold
them in your hand.You can give them roots and
wings!
