I worked with BCLC Beverly Children Learning Center. They are currently in the process of creating a more nutritional program.
This picture is all about what you put into your body and how it should balance you out. This was the ultimate goal of the nutritional talks. They were hoping to create a healthier meal plan for the students in hope of promoting a healthier environment.
I really enjoyed working with this group. Nutrition is a huge part of becoming a healthy adult and it is important that young people are offered the change to be knowledgeable about their own health. It is important that students are provided with snacks that are healthy and appropriate for growing children. BCLC does a wonderful job in providing food that satisfies all needs.
I would love to work on a program that is int eh process of revamping their meal plan. It was interesting to see the different ideas and insights on what foods and snacks are healthy and appropriate for children to be eating. I would love to be involved more activity with plans for nutrition and creating a healthier America. I fell this is a step in the right direction for changing the obesity epidemic.
As a future teacher I would love the possibly of having a class create and do their own service learning project. It really allows the students to be involved int heir community and see what is happening outside their school lives. I think this is an excellent idea to get kids involved.
