The School Challenge!
Greetings to all Principals, Faculty, and members of the Food Services for School! I challenge all of you to create healthier food choices in your schools. The benefits will be great! Please take the time to look at these three links.The first one is a slide show and has statistics to show how much each school improved after making only food changes in their schools. (Very Impressive!)
http://www.school-lunch.org/fairfax.html (#11 on my Links and Videos section)
The next one is information on How to Change a School's Food Program. http://www.school-lunch.org/schools/intro.html (see #10 on my Links and Videos section)
And this last one is titled, Matthew's Story and is about a little boy who experiences the effects that artificial dyes have on his behavior http://www.school-lunch.org/school.html (See #9 on My Links and Videos section).
This could be my child's story and a number of others as well. You have the chance to make a significant change in the lives of the children who are in your care. You might know a problem child who has always acted aggressively and defiant change into a sweet wonderful kid. You might notice how that child is now completing his work and is able to focus better than before. You might even see a smile where that dye-induced frown used to be. I challenge you to make a change - our children are counting on you. :)
Are you up for the challenge? I would love to hear from you. Please leave a comment.
