Eat Wise OKC

Welcome

Thank you for connecting with Eat Wise OKC in our quest to elevate the health culture of Oklahoma City Public Schools (OKCPS) through education and advocacy.
Our main goals for the OKCPS district include:

Recess and playground equipment for all elementary students
Fresh fruit & veggie snacks daily
"Hydration Stations" at every school; i.e. water available on the serving lines
Reduce sugar consumption
Eliminate food additives: MSG, artificial colors/flavors, preservatives
Stop the sale of junk food in elementary, middle and high schools
Replace Styrofoam trays with reusable trays and dish-washing machines
Support Child Nutrition Services in efforts to move to healthier menu items and away from fast food items
When the above is achieved, we will have fresh food prepared and served daily.

Changes you should already see in OKCPS:

Fresh fruit daily
Whole grain breads exclusively
Removal of all a la carte items in elementary school (a la carte = chips, cookies, sodas, left-over breakfast sweets, etc.)
Removal of sugary breakfast foods and cereals
Removal of pop tarts as part of free universal breakfast
