Student Benefits from Team Approach

April 17, 2019

Nutritious meals are provided in the Dining Hall on each campus at no cost to Green Chimneys students. Menus change seasonally.

All students eat lunch with their classmates and teachers. Residential students eat breakfast and dinner with fellow dorm mates and staff.

Low-fat milk is served with the meal and ice water is available at all tables. Nutritious, low-calorie snack choices, including fruit, are offered to students at a time scheduled by the classroom teacher. Water is available throughout the school day and at recess.

For questions about menu offerings or revised dietary needs, please contact your child’s social worker.

Russian Tortoise

There’s a reason this Russian Tortoise looks so iconic; it’s one of the most popular breeds sold in pet stores. This gentleman arrived at the Green Chimneys Wildlife Center as a rescue and secured a regular role in the classroom, helping students study the differences between tortoises and turtles; tortoises dwell on land, while turtles live in the water some or nearly all of the time. He has a reputation for being very active and outgoing and on warm, sunny days, the students take him outside to search for dandelion leaves to eat.
