2014 – Watkins Mill High School, United States

IBCC ProSTART IN MARYLAND SKYPES WITH STUDENTS IN UNITED KINGDOM

Background
We have been discussing the school meals program for years at our school. We Skyped with Acklam Grange School in the United Kingdom and discussed the differences in our school lunch program and presented ideas we had to add to the current menu.

What we did / what we are doing
See the video of the event: https://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/mainstory/story.aspx?id=355580

We are presenting information learned to our student body in a Health Fair in a few weeks. At that time, we plan on surveying the students who eat in our schools cafeteria daily to see what they would like to see on the menu.

We would LOVE to Skype with other ProStart schools to hear what you are doing! Just shoot me an email to set it up! Especially from other states/countries!

Next steps
We are working on the next steps. We are meeting weekly to discuss this. At yesterday’s meeting we tried one of the low-fat recipes Acklam Grange had on their school menu.
