Dear Friends of School Wellness:
 
Great news!  Oregon’s school food report card has improved from an “F” to an “A-“ in the last year.  In the opinion of the Center for Science in the Public Interest, our rapid improvement is due to the statewide school nutrition standards for foods and beverages sold outside the Federal Meals Program which was signed into law in June 2007.  
 
Check out the news:

Thank you for all your efforts in improving the school nutrition environment in Oregon’s schools. 
 
Best. ----Kari
