Nutrition Project Assessment
Students: Adrianne Cornette, Brianna Tomasi, Carly Rittenhouse, Sruthi Sundaram, Mary Cate McIntyre, Peter Stiver
The Roche primary school launched a nutrition project to provide food for the students. This provides each student with ujii (a porridge like breakfast) every morning when they arrive at school. Most students do not have food at home and come to school hungry. This is a huge problem for many reasons, but it is very difficult to teach students who cannot focus because they haven’t eaten.The hope is that feeding the students will help to improve attention and focus in school, and as a result, improve test scores, which also improves funding to the school from the government. We filmed and described the process so a student from the Clinton School and research how to improve the nutritional value. |
