Guest guest Posted December 5, 2002 Report Share Posted December 5, 2002 Hey!!! One school in the US is getting this right, and here's a great success story. Love, Doc PS. Janet, you should get your school in comm with these guys. What a win! ;o) Wellness and Nutrition ProgramAppleton Central Alternative SchoolandNatural Ovens and Bakery of Manitowoc,WisconsinSchool districts across the nation are looking for ways to improve theirschools, but they often overlook an important influence on learning -good nutrition. The connection between nutrition and learning iswell-established among scientists. They are clearly aware thatinadequate food intake limits children|s ability to learn about theirworld. Researchers know that chronically undernourished children mustuse their energy for tasks in order of importance: first for maintenanceof critical organ functions, second for growth, and last for socialinteraction and overall cognitive functioning.Appleton Central Alternative High School and Natural Ovens of Manitowocare committed to provide good nutrition for our students through thedevelopment and implementation of a healthy and natural breakfast, lunch,and snack program. The program, now in its fifth year of operation, hasbeen funded through the generous support of Natural Ovens of Manitowocowners, Paul and Barbara Stitt. Natural Ovens has contributed over$100,000.00 for the construction of an ACAS kitchen, food serviceequipment, employment of two cooks and a student assistant, training, andpayment of any excess food bills. Access to soda, candy, chips, andchemically processed food items is prohibited for our students.The Wellness and Nutrition Program incorporates new knowledge into ourexisting physical education courses, thus improving the nutritionalstatus and cognitive development of our most at risk clientele at ACAS.Lifelong eating habits and physical fitness are reinforced across thecontent areas. Objectives of the program include having the studentsgain thorough knowledge of the integral role a healthy diet plays inmaintaining the body and mind. Students are also exposed to theunderstanding of the possibility of an improved quality of life that eachperson can achieve with increased energy and stamina, and understandingthe import role that good nutrition and physical fitness play inpreventing life-threatening diseases.Expected outcomes of the program include:· Increased ability to concentrate in the school setting (more on-taskbehavior).· Increased cognitive development.· Ability to think more clearly, objectively, and rationally.· Achieve fewer health complaints, i.e. headaches, stomach aches, generalmalaise.· Increase attendance in school and work.· Fewer disciplinary referrals.· Reduce the feeling of hunger in mid-morning and/or mid-afternoon.· Less moodiness and more calmness in school and personal lives.· Increased practice of good nutrition outside of school.Natural Ovens of Manitowoc has recently agreed to continue their fundingof Central|s Nutrition Program for a fifth year. In addition, NaturalOvens is collaborating with Yale University to conduct research todetermine the effects of healthy eating in relationship to the levels ofserotonin and dopamine in the brain. Both are neuro-transmittersaffecting the functioning of the brain. This study includes testingcortisol, a hormone produced by the blood sugar controlling adrenalgland. Cortisol also stimulates the release of amino acids from muscletissue and fatty acids from adipose tissue. The amino acids are thenconverted to glucose in the liver for use by the brain. The fatty acidsthen can be used by skeletal muscles for energy, thus allowing theglucose to be utilized more efficiently by the brain.Greg Bretthauer-DeanAppleton Central Alternative School120 E.
