Physical Activity & Achievement
Schools play a crucial role in influencing physical activity
behaviors. Sound curriculum, policies, and facilities
create an environment encouraging students and staff to
engage in a variety of physical activity opportunities.
Evidence supports a correlation between academic
achievement and the physical well-being of students.
Intense physical activity programs have positive effects on
academic achievement , including increased concentration;
improved mathematics, reading, and writing test scores; and
reduced disruptive behavior.
-- Curricular Physical Activity and Academic
Performance, Pediatric Exercise Science

important part of the fundamental mission of schools.”

National School Lunch
School Breakfast
The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) was
conceived in 1946 as a “measure of national security to
safeguard the health and well-being of the Nation’s
children.” School districts receive federal reimbursement
for each school lunch served that meets the United States
Department of Agriculture nutrition guidelines. These
guidelines promote meal quality while commodity
donations help the farmer and help schools keep down
meal prices.
Our lunch meals are planned according to federal
regulations that require minimum portion sizes of meat,
fruit, vegetable, grains/breads and fluid milk for breakfast
and lunch. We offer fresh fruits and vegetables every day.
The menus aim for variety and allows us to make the most
efficient use of the donated commodities. We offer 1%
and skim milk, as well as 100% fruit juice.
An analysis of our lunch menus are found elsewhere in
this report card.
The table below provides a synopsis of the lunch program,
including participation and financial data.
The School Breakfast Program (SBP) was established in
1966. School districts receive federal reimbursement for
each school breakfast served that meets the U.S. Department
of Agriculture’s nutrition guidelines.
“Protecting children’s health and cognitive development may be
the best way to build a strong America.”
-- Dr. J. Larry Brown, Tufts University School of Nutrition
Studies show that children who participate in the School
Breakfast Program have significantly higher standardized
achievement test scores than non-participants. Children with
access to school breakfast also had significantly reduced
absence and tardiness rates.

Teachers should make reasonable efforts to avoid long periods
when students are physically inactive. When possible, physical
activity should be integrated into learning activities. When that is
not possible, students should be given periodic breaks during
which they are encouraged to stand and be moderately active.
This brochure is provided in compliance with KRS 158.856 as an
overview of the nutrition and physical activity available in the
Campbell Co. School System with the recommendation for areas
of improvement. The Board will review any recommendations
offered by the general public in developing a plan to be
implemented in the 14-15 school year.

recommendations to the Campbell County School Food Service
