Bishop Connolly High School
President
Robert P. Morissette doubled as "Nutrition Man" on Monday lunch
hours during the month of March, 2006, to emphasize the importance of
proper nutrition. Mr. Morissette approaches students in the lunch line
and poses questions about nutrition (Example: "What's a good source of
iron in your diet?") to students waiting in line. A correct response is
rewarded by a nutrition bar. This unique educational effort was
undertaken to emphasize the importance of healthy eating during
National Nutrition Month. Health and Physical Education Director
Rick Baptista also
leads a student Nutrition Committee that is taking action on vending
machine contents and cafeteria food offerings. |
