About 150 students from the Service Learning Academy attended a screening of the film, Lunch, at the Enzian Theater. The Global Peace Film Festival provided the film for our annual Earth Day film event.
The film was eye-opening. We don't always think about what we eat and whether our food choices are healthy or junk food. Most food served in our schools is unhealthy - high in calories and low in nutrition. Childhood obesity is increasing and it's easy to see why.

Next year the academy students will be launching a get healthy campaign at TCHS. It will include promoting healthy choices at lunch and other meals; outlining the requirements for a basic exercise program, providing physical games in the courtyard; supporting the Garden for Change; and working with partners to promote healthy choices.
Why wait for us to start getting healthy? Go to First Lady Michelle Obama's website, Let's Move to get started now!
