Nutrition Liaison
Nutrition Liaison (1 person)
The Merion Nutrition Liaison will represent Merion Elementary school as a part of the LMSD Nutrition Committee. The committee meets once a month to discuss issues that relate to the health and wellness of students in the LMSD with a focus on nutrition. This position would serve as a voice for Merion parents to relay concerns/ideas about food served in the cafeteria and nutrition programs/events in the school.  Two main events are hosted each year:
  1. Apple Crunch in the fall - This is a district-wide event led by Nutritional Services where each elementary school buys locally-sourced apples for each student and the kids can choose to have the apple. The liaison organizes volunteers to wash and distribute apples.
  1. Go for the Greens in the spring - This is also a district-wide event led by Nutritional Services where we encourage students to try two new and tasty vegetables in our school cafeterias and at home. The liaison organizes volunteers to serve the vegetables, tally votes (for the favorite vegetable) and give stamps to student participants.
Timing: Ongoing fielding of parent questions/concerns during attendance at monthly Nutrition Committee meetings. Meeting schedule TBD. Fall and spring commitment to organize Apple Crunch and Go for the Greens.
