print ABOUT THE DCSS CHILD NUTRITION PROGRAM

The Dougherty County Child Nutrition Program serves 10,030 breakfasts and 12,456 lunches every day.  The nutrition program focuses on good nutrition, childhood obesity prevention, and wellness for all students.  Healthy eating habits are taught daily through our partnership with the Ready, Set, Go Program sponsored by Phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital.  Our 28 schools have made innovative changes to improve the nutritional quality of all foods and beverages offered and sold on school campuses.  Our goal is to improve the school nutrition environment and to help students eat healthy.  Our Child Nutrition motto is Feeding Bodies, Feeding Minds.
