Lunch Bunch And Wellness

Project two was directed by Lillian Rose working with the 5th and 6th grade students. This project involved the personal environment of the students – their bodies. This project was centered a round wellness. The students investigated their personal perceptions of their wellness and from there formed a Wellness Committee. This committee met during designated lunch periods forming the “Lunch Bunch”. The students discuss issues that impacted them as young people and their health. They shared their health knowledge with others through posters, school paper, Field Day, and motivating others. Using this newly acquired health knowledge, the students designed menu changes for the cafeteria which did use the suggestions in March. They menu ideas will be used again in the following school year when the Klein Wellness will spread to the entire district. Here is their menu for March 13th – healthy and delicious!!
   Chicken Taco with tomato, lettuce, & cheese
   Steaming hot corn
   Celery with peanut butter and raisins
