Foods of Minimal Nutritional Value (FMNV)

• Classroom Birthday CelebrationsTDA recognizes
  that celebrating student birthdays with a
  classroom party is a time-honored tradition that
  provides the opportunity for parental involvement
  in the education of their children, which is
  beneficial for students, parents and teachers.
  Foods otherwise restricted by the policy are
  permitted in classroom student birthday parties.
  It is recommended such parties be scheduled after
  the end of lunch period for the class so that
  these celebrations will not replace a nutritious
  lunch. Federal regulations do not permit foods of
  minimal nutritional value to be served in the
  food service area during meal periods.
• Classroom birthday celebrations may not be served
  in the cafeteria where meals from the Nutrition
  Services Department are being served and
  consumed. Birthday celebrations must take place
  in the classroom or in the cafeteria after all
  meals have been served. See your principal for
  campus guidelines.
