Making a Difference

Improving School Lunches is of utmost importance for our children. More children today are becoming obese more than any generation. At times the school lunch is the only daily nutrition for some children. The foods offered can be full of added sugars, fats, calories, additives, and chemicals. These foods are cheap and therefore accessible for school children and school budgets. Children need to focus in the classroom. These chemicals only add to lethargy of students, making them jittery and decreasing levels of concentration. Our children deserve better; they are the future.

I recently spoke with the principal and food services director of my town's local high school. After I had written both of them letters based upon conversations I had with students and faculty we met and agreed that changes had to be made to take steps in improving the fare at the cafeteria.

I have heard now that there is a full serve salad bar. There is also fresh cantaloupe which is served as a side. There are also more vegetarian choices, a veggie burger is now on the menu it's fresh not frozen.

All it takes is you to take more than just an interest in your child's school. Be attentive to all aspects of your child's education. Get involved, write letters, be a proactive participant in your child's school.
