My Project

Our students are learning about the importance of healthy eating and active lifestyles, but we're missing a key ingredient to make these lessons truly impactful: access to proper food storage. Our current refrigerator, which served us well for many years, has finally given out, leaving us without a way to store perishable items. We're now seeking to replace it with a small refrigerator to address two critical needs: promoting healthy snack choices and reducing food waste.

Currently, students who bring perishable healthy snacks like yogurt and fruit, often have no way to keep them fresh, leading to spoilage and discouraging healthy choices.

A refrigerator would solve this, empowering students to bring nutritious snacks without worry. This directly supports our nutrition program, which emphasizes the benefits of healthy eating.

Beyond individual snacks, the refrigerator will enable hands-on learning experiences. We can store ingredients for in-class demonstrations of healthy meal and snack preparation. This experiential learning is far more effective than simply sending recipes home. By showing students how to create healthy options, we empower them to make informed choices and share these skills with their families, fostering healthy habits at home. This also addresses food waste, as ingredients purchased for demonstrations can be properly stored and used over time.

This refrigerator isn't just an appliance; it's an investment in our students' long-term health and well-being. It will bridge the gap between classroom learning and real-world application, creating a supportive environment where healthy choices are both encouraged and practical. By providing this essential tool, we can transform our nutrition program from theory to practice, empowering students to lead healthier lives and make positive changes within their families.
