On Thursday March 13th I traveled to Peabody Memorial High School to present information about the Child Nutrition Outreach Program and the School Breakfast Video Contest to the TV Production class.
This was my first Project Bread presentation so I was a little nervous as I walked through the doors of the enormous high school. After I entered the classroom my nerves disappeared. I was greeted by a large group of welcoming students eager to learn about the School Breakfast Video Contest.
The teachers and students were very engaged and seemed eager to learn more about Project Bread’s initiatives as well as the specifics of the School Breakfast Video. It was interesting to hear from the students as they expressed concern about how unhealthy the food is in their school cafeteria. One of the requirements of the video contest is that the students must present an example of a healthy breakfast. They were concerned that they did not have any healthy food available in the cafeteria to feature in the video.
The faculty and staff also expressed concern about the nutritional value of the food available to students at the high school. Hopefully, Project Bread can help provide more nutritious meals for Peabody Memorial High. After seeing the winning videos from the previous years the students were excited about the prospect of competing in the contest. They were very enthusiastic and looked forward to making multiple videos. It was a pleasure meeting the students from Peabody. I look forward to viewing their productions.
