Achieving Nutrition through
Beverages
Brooke Seibert, Dietetic
Intern
District 87 realizes the
importance in increasing the
nutritional quality of the
beverages served to our
students. We have
accomplished this by
minimizing the amount of
sugary drinks available and
maximizing the beverages
with lower calories and
higher nutrients. Instead of
sodas and sugary fruit
drinks, we offer
zero-calorie flavored waters
and sports drinks, 100%
juices, and low-fat milks.
It can
be very easy to consume many
extra calories in the form
of drinks throughout the
day! Please try to express
the importance of choosing
nutritious beverages to your
child and help them develop
this healthy life-long
habit. And don’t forget, you
are one of your child’s
biggest role models!
