My Students
The students we serve are sweet and loving little personalities, they come from low income neighborhoods. Our focus is to get and keep them healthy while in our care and when at home. We cater to the children's nutritional health to help prevent health issues such as: obesity , heart disease, high blood pressure, and type 2 diabetes. Healthy eating habits are more likely to stay with you if you learn them as a child.
My Project
A laptop was chosen to better serve our students nutritional needs. Since the pandemic a lot of our work has been done at home such as ordering food and supplies. The laptop will make a big difference for us when completing documentation and sending out nutritional recipes and activities to our students and families. A balanced diet is key to healthy eating habits because it provides children with the nutrients they need to grow. Such a diet should contain three daily meals and two healthy snacks with foods of the following food groups: protein, carbohydrates, fruits, vegetables, dairy foods, some fat and sugar.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
