The National School Lunch Project will provide interns with an opportunity to become familiar with the National School Lunch Program. Each intern will be responsible for reviewing and familiarizing themselves to the four approaches to meal planning. Interns will be assigned teams with an appointed scribe to complete the menu planning portion of the project. As a group, a meal planning approach will be chosen for an associated age group applying the associated nutrition requirements into a five day menu for that specific age group served by these programs. Each intern will be expected to participate equally in the group portion of this project. A peer evaluation form for the group work will be completed by each intern upon completion of the project to evaluate each intern’s level of participation
