We are actively seeking financial support for a school-based program that teaches children about healthy eating and how to cook nutritious meals. The program teaches children food-preparation skills and allows them to participate in fun learning activities about food, nutrition, and food safety. food is central to culture, identity, health, and life. Learning how to cook healthy and enjoyable meals is an essential and valuable skill. Food brings people together, and this club would do so in a way that integrates learning. We seek funding for meal and snack preparation materials, supplies, nutrition resources, cooking equipment, and cleaning supplies. The rationale for the program Given the trends toward more and more high-fat, low-nutrition fast foods, it is essential to the future well-being of children that they learn to prepare tasty, nutritious snacks and meals. Growing rates of childhood obesity in North American society may lead to significant problems with heart disease, diabetes, and other serious ailments. This is particularly true for children who live in low-income families. San Marcos CISD has a high rate of low-income families at 85%. Goals of the Program: • to provide opportunities for children to increase their food preparation skills • to teach children healthy nutrition practices in a fun manner • to provide opportunities for children to learn about foods from different cultures • to improve support for our children • to provide our children with a way to prepare meals at home Thank you so much for being so considerate.
