The Importance Of Intervention In Moffat Schools
Moffat school has a beautiful new building that was built to meet all current safety standards. It has proper exits in every room of the building. They have a buzz in entrance that can only be accessed by the front desk manager. This protects the students from unwanted visitors and keeps them safe. The school has automatic door locks that can be accessed by a key card and each of the teachers possess one. This means that all doors can be exited but cannot be reentered without teacher or staff approval. This also, means that no one can enter the building that shouldn't be there. The students and staff practice fire drills every month. They have specific line up drills and student roll call that they use to insure that everyone is accounted for and knows where they should be in the case of an emergency. I really wasn't able to find out very much information about the schools intervention program. I guess I was not exactly sure what kind of intervention program I was referring to. I thought it was about intervention for bullying, so I asked around but nobody had an answer for me. It has been pretty crazy over there so it was hard to find someone that could answer the question for me. I will look a little deeper into the schools intervention program on my next few visits. The Moffat School has a great promotion of …show more content…
When I was there the chefs came out and asked every student about their lunch experience and took a survey on the children's favorite lunches throughout the week. They worked to provide healthy food that they kids liked but also listened to the children and improved based on their feedback. I am so impressed with the healthy food program at the Moffat school and feel like they have really embraced the system and made it the preferred option for all involved. Almost all the teachers buy school lunches regularly and “sack lunch envy” has become a thing of the

    I did not design the lunch menu for my center; however, I serve it to my children on a daily basis. We use the CRMC food service, which has many benefits. One positive aspect is that there is no extra cost to the center, and enough food is delivered daily so that each child is served the appropriate proportions. My center works with the hospital to create a “short cycle menu,” a menu that is different everyday and repeats itself after a certain number of days, specifically a one-week cycle menu that is chosen by our director with faculty input. This cycle menu shows strengths because the children seem to enjoy a shorter cycle of fewer foods, and our director is able to control the menu to ensure that quality foods are served. The food served each day includes the food groups required for a balanced diet with whole milk. None of the meals contain potential choking hazards and all food is cut with food scissors for my age group. Each month, our center updates our allergy alert sheet, which is posted in every classroom. The staff complies to each child’s needs everyday at lunch and snack. I would not change my centers lunch menu because it promotes a healthy diet, meets their nutritional needs, and the children like it.…

    Don’t you think that school lunches should start providing healthy lunches? You will not like to be surprised by a hair or something disgusting in your food. Is there’s times that when you eat school lunches and you’re waiting in line you see the food and think are these school lunches actually healthy? In the past 10 years schools actually provided unhealthy school lunches. The school lunches contain about the same amount of fat as a happy meal at McDonalds’ does. In my opinion I think that school lunches aren’t actually healthy.…

    How many time have you, the reader, stood in the school lunch line, waiting to get your lunch, and came out with nothing but garbage? Well, I think I know the solution to this problem, as well as others: school gardens! In my personal opinion, school gardens are pretty much essential for not only the education of the students and even teachers, but also, the general welfare of the whole school. They can improve school lunches; can have positive effects on students and teachers; and will give kids like me, a chance to build our skill and respect for the land, in gardening to pass as a legacy, for the future. School lunches are a big problem.…

    This includes making sure that all those who are in school have been signed in and identified. Schools may have different methods for doing this, for example visitors may be issued with badges. If staff notice any unidentified people in the school, they should challenge them immediately. If you are on playground duty and notice anything suspicious, you should also send for help. Schools may also have secure entry and exit points, which may make it more difficult for individuals to enter the premises.…

    In numerous movies and stories you've seen, have you ever heard any of the characters say the cafeteria food has a rich, savory, and an appetizing look? Probably not. Cafeteria food lacks good quality and taste, and is probably one of the reasons why countless students don't eat during lunch. Students always discuss what if they could change three things in their school's lunch menu. They would probably have chocolate ice-cream, fried chicken or cake every day for lunch if they were given that option. If I was given the option to change three things in my school's lunch menu, I would take out wheat pancakes, pizza and the re fried beans. The wheat pancakes have always lacked flavor and always have an unpleasant aftertaste, the cheese on the pizza is rancid, and the beans always have a dark, crusty layer on top. If I could replace wheat pancakes, pizza and re fried beans, I would replace it with crepes, fresh fruit…

    Per the New Mexico Department of Health, in 2015 more than 1 in 4 kindergarten children were overweight or obese. As the children get older the rates continue to increase. In the same 2015 study, more than 1 in 3 children in the 3rd grade were obese and overweight. As I’m sure you know obesity and obesity-related diseases are not only harmful to the children of our communities, but also to our communities as a whole. Yet one glance at the APS school breakfast and lunch menus and you will find that the issue seems to be ignored by the school district. The menu for March contains items such as dried fruit, raisins, Dunkin sticks, French toast minis and other foods which really should be categorized as candy/junk foods and all of which offer very little nutritional value. I believe that creating healthier environments in the schools and introducing nutrition education as early as kindergarten would prove to be extremely effective. Even something as simple as sending home weekly nutritional handouts with every student would be helpful. The handouts would contain basic nutrition information, tips on cooking affordable and healthy meals, and tips on helping children learn better eating habits. A collaborative effort between the community, home, and school is crucial to improving the health of our future, which are these children. Would you consider taking the lead in proposing the…

    The Food for Life Partnership is a network of communities across England committed to transforming food culture, one school at a time. Led by the Soil Association, the Food for Life Partnership website includes information on how to get involved, case studies, Food Tube short films, events and more. The Food for Life Partnership uses food as a way to improve the whole school experience – making lunchtimes a positive feature of the day and enriching classroom learning with farm visits and practical cooking and growing. Schools joined on the programme are growing their own food; organising trips to farms; sourcing food from local bakers, butchers and farmers; setting up school farmers’ markets; holding community food events; providing cooking and growing clubs for pupils and their families; and serving freshly prepared, locally sourced meals that follow a rigorous Food for Life Catering Mark. Foods for Life Partnership schools are embedding food education into their curriculum, and a focus on ‘pupil voice’ means pupils take ownership and decide their own priorities. The Partnership is about bringing people together – teachers, pupils, families, cooks, caterers, farmers and the wider community – to enjoy good, wholesome food and change food culture in England significantly.…
