...valley high on the idea of closing the campus off from all students during lunch. This method is not needed nor does it need to be enforced for many reasons . one reason is the school food is not appetizing to the students. Also most of the students want to relax during lunch time and mainly get out if the school and relax. Lastly some students also have to be responsible and maybe run errands for their parents during lunch time . For many students eating the lunch that the school provides its not something they enjoy doing. Students often say that the food that the school provides is nasty and disgusting they also believe that there are not enough food for them to keep a healthy diet. For example an athlete has to consume more food than a regular student and some time the lunches provided at the school don't allow them to do that. Many of the students love to go off campus and eat because they have a wide variety of restaurants...

...A recent poll states that 97% of students believe that off-campus access should be provided during school hours. I think that students should be allowed to leave campus for lunch during school hours. The privilege of being able to leave school to get something to eat would be a great responsibility to teach students. Off- campus lunch would also provide a wider variety of food that would be more nutritious than school lunches. Allowing students the away time from school may also result in a student being given the chance to be him or herself in their own time before having to come back to school and have to focus and work hard. Off- campus lunch would be a great addition to the school district. If students were allowed to leave school...

...raised by my mother with six siblings. Life as I remember it was very difficult for her as a single parent to provide for us, but she never gave up and did whatever she had to do to see us through. The harshness of life was not apparent to me because our situation was not unique, many of my friends and neighbors were in similar position. My perspective on life changed when I entered high school and realized that my norms were totally different from a lot of other children. I had two pairs of uniforms that I wore interchangeably each week, for some of us that was normal for others that was repulsive. Buying lunch was never a luxury I could afford, so I brought whatever was available from home, others would buy their lunches from the school cafeteria and off campus. I often ask myself why was I born in such poverty, and the only conclusion I could come to, was the lack of money and education in my family. My mother was a factory worker and my father, who was absent for most of my life was an occasional truck driver, neither of whom has ever attended high school. Realizing at an early age that lack of education and money was the root cause of my family’s poverty I decided to take things in my own hands. I believed in my heart that this was temporary stop on life’s journey, it could not be my destiny. I did absolutely nothing to cause this on...

Chambers School is proud to be the premier provider of at-risk youth alternative education and career assistance in Lane County, and seeks to make this experience even more valuable for its clients. This is done through a series of curricula funded by the Lane Workforce Partnership, Oregon Youth Conservation Corps, Oregon Department of Human Resources, and the local school districts. The most recent program we have developed is a culinary arts program in which students learn about food preparation and safe handling and then put this knowledge to use by preparing lunches for their peers at the Chambers School. After completing the 9-week curriculum, students are placed with a local food service business for a 60-hour practical training where they can continue to develop their skills. Currently, the culinary arts program is available to five students per 9-week school term, or approximately 25 students per year. Students enrolled in the program are selected because of their sincere interest in the culinary field and their excellent attendance. After a successful first year of operating the culinary arts program, we are looking to expand the...

...Running head: VILLIAGE MEADOWS COMMUNITY ASSESSMENT Community Assessment of Village Meadows Elementary School Grand Canyon University Community Health October 18, 2010 Community Boundaries This community is comprised of school-aged children ranging from kindergarten and lasting up until sixth grade. The phenomological community is represented in the fact that the community members are all considered to be in elementary school. The community is made up of children with and without special needs and learning disabilities. These children live in the geopolitical area of Bell Road to the 101 Freeway, and between 19th Avenue and 25th Avenue. This area is the pre-determined area set forth by the county to represent the appropriate amount of households for the school size. The community expands and shrinks as students move into or out of this plotted area. They represent people who are mostly Caucasian and Hispanic, but there is a blend of Slavic and Middle Eastern community members. Many of the community members live in apartments or other grouped housing, and has the ability to interact outside of school as well. Assumptions The main assumptions of the community include that some of the children will be poorly educated because of the community in which it resides. It is also assumed that these children are not going to be eager about school, particularly high school and college because the percent of bachelor level families is...

...all U.S. traffic-related deaths (Burris et al., 2011). Alcohol is the most commonly abused substance in the United States according to Pandrea, Happel, Amedee, Bagby, &ump; Nelson, 2010, and studies show that reducing alcohol consumption can lead to public health improvements such as decreased incidence of “liver cirrhosis, delirium tremens, male suicide, criminality, hospitalizations, alcohol-related disease mortality, workplace injuries, STDs, IPV, rape, robbery, and severe violence towards children” (Jernigan). Public heath deals with many other issues that cause burdens to individuals and society alike such as obesity and gun use. Over the past several months, headlines in the news have been echoing “Chocolate Milk Removed from School Lunches,” and “Senate Considers Federal Tax on Soda.” While the removal of chocolate milk from school menus has actually happened in certain school districts across the country, federal tax on sodas has only been a proposal at this point. However, both echoes resounding through the news originated from escalating research that America’s twin epidemics of diabetes and obesity are due to diets high in sugar. The end result is that the actions taken to fight obesity have not been classified as either effective, uncertain, or harmful consistently through studies and research because there are too many variables like genetics, other sugar-loaded beverages and foods on the shelf, lack of exercise,...

...Running Head: Cafeteria Observations Observing Different Common Areas In an Elementary School Setting Chantil R. Brantley American College of Education In schools, different people can see or observe different things. Some support personnel take information and handle situations completely different than other people. Depending on who is giving the observation could determine if you get a clear accurate picture of the entire situation. Observing the information given about Lacy Elementary School, there are some concerns about the cafeteria situation. Student characteristics can be affected by their surroundings. At Lacy Elementary School, one main concern is the school is overcrowded. The school was built to hold approximately 500 students but it currently over capacity by approximately 150 students. Even though a lot of students tend to not eat breakfast, at Lacy Elementary, it is just the opposite. The bulk of the students come to eat breakfast which is a great way to start the day. According to Basch, skipping breakfast “has a negative impact on academic achievement by adversely affecting cognition and absenteeism” (Basch, 2011). Students sit quietly, talk and finish their homework during the breakfast session. The majority of the students discard their trash in the appropriate places. When it is time for the students to leave and go to class, students aren’t too noisy and exit the cafeteria appropriately. During lunch shift, the students’ actions are completely...
