Jesse Jeffrey

Jeffrey's "Eating Smart for a Healthy Start" lets students research and implement a nutritional program to meet the needs of the student body and members of the community. Working with various community groups, students publish and distribute nutrition pamphlets to parents. Consulting with local health care providers and the senior citizen center, they use computer software to help seniors evaluate their dietary needs and intake and develop menus that will improve their health and wellness. Students enhance their computer skills, interact with people of all ages, cultures, and nationalities, and learn to make informed nutritional decisions that offer lifelong benefits.
