Some Words From Our Health Educators
“It really warmed my heart during the first workshop when the kids had easily recalled everything they had learned from the previous year. This proves that the program is effective in educating them about healthy eating habits and it actually sticks!”
“My class would recognize my group, even in the hallways, despite the fact that they only saw us once a month. The moment my group saw us coming into their classrooms, there is always shouts of joy greeting us.”​
“I remember after the first lesson we had, we were trying to ask the kids what they learned last month and no one seemed to remember. But there was this one child who raised his hand with a smile and listed all the food groups so happily and it made me so happy to see that he remembered. It made me realize that little by little, I was making a difference.”
“I have experienced lot of things. I learned that we can make things better being in a group. And the way we are teaching the school kids how to stay healthy feels really good. I feel so proud that I got into this. I became more confident about speaking in front of others since I was a shy person.”
“My children have come to know me by name and are very engaged students. Every encounter with the children is a privilege and a gift. As an aspiring pediatrician, children are my everything and it is a blessing to see their smiles once a month. Their smile makes my whole world and their "thank you's" lightens my day.”
“As a large group of us were walking around the third floor trying to find the prep room, a student saw us and said to his friend, "That's that healthy eating group. They got Cheerios." It felt rewarding to be recognized by the students in both cases and know that we are something they look forward to.”
“Nothing is more rewarding than asking the kids questions at the end of the workshop and hearing all of their accurate answers. They actually learned things! We did that! We are impacting!"
