The health of the students here at Fruita 8/9. Now that some of the rules have changed there is barley any sugar at this school. Studies have showed that kids at school are getting heather every day that they have a school lunch. I sat down with a couple of the teachers here a Fruita 8/9.
Mr. Bollan a math teacher here at Fruita 8/9 said that he is surprised at how well children are eating health wise. There is less junk food in here now than ever before which is making a huge impact on the students. With all this healthy food students are starting to change what they were eating before there was less junk food to more healthy choices. Mr. Bollan thinks that this program is working and nothing more needs to be changed to the program.
Our schools Liberian Mrs. Morgan says that there is still more junk food coming into this school. And that this new program is not working because kids are still bringing junk food into this school. Not only to lunch but into the class rooms as well. We can’t stop them from bringing junk food into this school. Some teachers will not allow food of any kind into their class rooms.
My thought about this new program is that it is working but not that effectively. School lunches have gotten better but there is still junk food in this school and we cannot stop it from coming in here. There are students who will agree with me and others not so much. This new program is working half of the time. This students are getting more selective about what they are eating which most are making healthy choices others not so much.
