Madonna
Students Promote Health and Wellness
As a Health and
Wellness school, the girls at Madonna actively participated in making smoothies
and fajita's as part of their after school program. Through this initiative,
the school’s goal was to enhance literacy and numeracy skills by engaging students
in the preparation of health food choices. The students developed a list of
grocery items needed and after a careful review of various grocery store
flyers, they proceeded to purchase the materials needed. The students not only
learned how to effectively read ads, coupons and stay within budget but they
learned how to work together while building friendships and sharing unique
stories.
