Healthy Choices for Liberty Ranch High School
There are many things the people in Liberty Ranch High School can do to make the school much healthier. I purpose Liberty Ranch should do activities to help us with our eating habits like keeping a food journal, inviting a professional health speaker to help make the school healthier, make food posters or a nutrition class.
One of the reasons why LRHS should invite a professional health speaker is on the low results we got in our “healthy eating” survey. My class and I made a survey of UN/healthy eating and gave the survey to the whole school. We all got assigned a class and had to write a hand made letter asking them to take the survey we made. We later got the results and exanimated them. This helped us see how many people ate healthy and how many did not. We later made a chart of the results and 80% answered “no” overall the entire survey. This survey also helped us see how many people we would affect if we helped our

One of the articles students would read is “No Lunch Left Behind” by Waters and Heron. The article talks about cheap foods, school cafeterias and food that is thrown away. Public safety’s has been redesigned in every school to help kids eat healthier. “Launched in 1946 as a public safety, it has turned out to be a poor investment. It should be redesigned to make our children look healthier” (Waters and Heron). As what the article says many school cafeterias aren’t really “cafeterias”. They usually heat up frozen foods or left overs. I thought our school cafeteria was like that too but, after the field trip to the cafeteria, I saw that the food they make is freshly made, and the pizza is hand made, not frozen and just heated up. This was a good experience; I now eat food from the cafeteria! Thanks to Susan Stewart. The article “No Lunch Left Behind” is very interesting article to read, like the facts of food being thrown

The road to the historic desegregation of Little Rock Central High school began in the 1930’s when the NAACP tasked future Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall with fighting segregation in schools. By 1950 he had helped to strike down segregation in universities in several states. In 1951, the NAACP aided parents of black children attending public schools in Topeka, Kansas in attempting to overturn the state’s segregation laws. After a three year court battle, the 1954 Supreme Court case Brown v. Board of Education Topeka culminated in the abolishment of school segregation laws in 21 states. (Seeds 1)
Do you think Conroe high school should change there rules. I think conroe should change the hat rule to be able to where it in school.
When I attended Oroville High School for my freshman year, there were countless numbers of couples that hungout together, including myself and my ex-boyfriend. There was so much pressure for all of the couples to do things and have sex, especially for our friends that were together, mainly because they were freshman and the peer pressure from all of the upper class men highly effected them. A couple that we hungout with at Oroville High always talked to us about them feeling like they need to and about how they don't know if it's a good idea or not. We always told them to follow their gut and their hearts, do what they feel is right. The main problem was that all of the higher classes always said, "wow dude, you're lame, you're not cool" only
Lake Taylor High School has been my school for three years now. This school is a fantastic place to learn; the teachers are kind and patient to their students, including me. The staff they have are incredible, the principals take care of discipline very well. Most teachers know their criteria in their subjects well. Although Lake Taylor is a great school to be in, it has a major problem. Its major problem is having enough money to make the school better. As I write this essay, you will most likely end up agreeing with my solution to this
My time at Sam Houston High School can be described as completing complicated and something I would never do again. However, that glorious end is in sight as I look at working for the good while of my life I think I would really enjoy myself with the amount of progress I would be making. While working, I plan on becoming really stable to do my own things. After, I hope to maybe go to a community college, with a concentration in Business Management. After completing my degree I plan to maybe own my own company or store.
At Santaluces Community High School there are many things that require change. The scheduling, cats, and recess are things that need to be changed in order to please the students. Having these changes may change student’s life for the better
Explain to individuals about the importance of a healthy diet and encourage and support them to choose healthy options and alternatives.
The food is either half cooked or out of place. I myself saw some nasty things in my food, such as, hair, and a fingernail. Without any thought I just throw it away. School lunch is not just bad tasting it is also badly served and treated. The other important factor is that school lunch isn’t free unless you apply for free lunch with a low income. Parents pay for school lunches and when they come in such bad shape you just take it to the next level and quit eating it. So what should be served in a school lunch, unhealthy food, no. The parents would probably blame the National School Lunch program. Even though the program stresses the fact that school lunch has to be healthy to the maximum. Michelle Obama is a strong opposer to soften the health regulations for school lunches after 2010. In Harmony we get carrots and tomatoes with our lunch everyday and after lunch all I see is thrown around carrots due to food fights and the trash can flooded with fresh tomatoes. It makes me sad seeing these people taking their meals for granted while people overseas would do anything for the meals we are served here. Serving healthy makes kids mess around with all the food. One day this year we were served a lunch an in additional to the lunch we got a free ICEE ice cream. Not anybody threw it away everyone ate theirs. If you want to stress the fact that tons of food is being thrown out annually. Sometimes
According to Alice Waters and Katrina Heron, authors of “No lunch left behind” an article published in The New York Times on February 19, 2009, the National School Lunch Program is a poor investment. The authors informed the public that of $9 billion, very little actually goes into the food. They demand fresh alternatives provided by local farmers and refine school equipment, to instead prepare fresh nutritious meals for the school. Although we may produce some meals at the school, there are still ways to improve the equipment to better serve the students. Education about sensible eating is also recommended, as it will teach students a nourishing lifestyle outside of school. With a well-constructed plan that upgrades the quality of the food and food education, it will surely make our school healthier!
One way to improve the American diet is by changing the lunch systems that schools currently have. In the article “No Lunch Left Behind”, the writers, Alice Waters and Katrina Heron, call for a change in the National School Lunch Program to improve lunch programs in schools. Along with their call for change they also provide explanations on how the lunch program works and the different previous attempts to fix it. Waters and Heron states that feeding children healthier meals “...could be done for about $5 per child, or roughly $27 billion a year, plus a one-time investment in real kitchens.” (Heron & Waters par. 7). This shows that it is possible for schools to provide their students with healthier lunches, even though it may seem pricey. By investing in real kitchens and healthier foods, schools can promote better diets to the students that they are supposed to be educating and reduces the risk of foodborne illnesses that may continue to affect the learning experiences of students. This also reduces the presence of junk foods and exposes students to healthier alternatives, allowing them to understand what is good for them and what may cause health issues over time. Along with health improvements on campus, this could also reduce the amount of food being wasted as students would be more prone to finishing their lunches after knowing that it will benefit their health.
Under the supervision of a registered dietitian nutritionist (RDN), I volunteered as a student counselor for the Winning With a Healthy Lifestyle program. I worked with clients on a weekly basis to analyze their diets using the ESHA® computer software, help them set nutrition and physical activity goals, and track changes in their weight, body fat percentage, and waist circumference. This experience allowed me to develop my counseling skills when I established rapport and practiced motivational interviewing techniques with clients. I also acquired experience in the community setting when I helped organize nutrition education workshops for the Families Understanding Nutrition Center. This experience allowed me to interact with high school students in order to teach them about nutrient dense foods, healthy snacking, and physical
Upon reviewing the community vitality data I came to the conclusion that the health problem that a health education program would be most appropriate to address would be childhood nutritional health and fitness. I came to this conclusion after careful data analysis. Of the county’s adults (18+) 77% ate less than five servings of fruits and vegetables per day, this percentage is so high likely because of attitudes and habits these adults picked up when they were children. The second largest age demographic in the county is children aged 10 to 17 are overweight, six percent more than the state average, 88% of children age 10 to 17 are not meeting daily targets for fruit and vegetable consumption and 30% age 10 to 17 watch 3 or
Students can do this during expressive time which is once a week. Once a week students can go to Health and learn important tips to live a better lifestyle. The teacher could also give real world examples to show the students what they can do outside of school. This increases engagement in the students because they are learning real world things to use outside of the school. To implement this plan effectively, the schools would simply need to allow health to be in the rotation of expressive. Expressive time consist of Art, PE, Technology, Library, and Character Ed. It wouldn’t be that hard at all to add this into rotation. This might take time because you can add a new rotation in middle of year. Most likely it would have to wait till next
Community health nursing is a comprehensive area that allows nurses to exercise in a broad diverse setting. It focuses on the population, toward planning, delivering and evaluating nursing care. It fosters the health and well-being of the individual throughout lifespan from various populations. In this presentation as a student nurse our group played the role of educating and informing school children’s about healthy food choices.
