About 'nutrition wellness certification'|What’s a Wellness Coach Anyway








In               1946,               results               from               American               youth               military               recruitment               physicals               revealed               many               potential               recruits               suffered               from               undernourishment.

As               a               result,               government-funded               school               feeding               programs               were               introduced               (Hunter,               1998).

Research               has               documented               the               value               of               starting               each               day               with               a               good               nutritious               breakfast.

Congress               passed               the               School               Breakfast               Bill               in               1966               to               provide               low-income               children               with               a               healthy               meal               before               the               school               day               began.

As               a               result               of               school               breakfast               initiatives,               studies               have               indicated               better               classroom               performance               when               students               eat               breakfast               (Bro,               Shank,               McLaughlin,               &               Williams,               1996).

The               National               School               Lunch               Program               serves               approximately               4.8               billion               meals               per               year;               the               2001               fiscal               budget               was               set               at               $10.7               billion               to               fund               programs               (King,               2000a).

Proponents               of               the               school               meal               program               support               the               benefits               the               program               has
               rendered.

The               Abell               Foundation,               in               Baltimore,               gathered               data               based               on               six               public               schools               in               the               district               to               determine               the               effects               of               the               new               school               breakfast               program.

The               Foundation               documented               improvements               in               attendance,               student               morale,               and               attention               span               following               the               piloted               program               (American               Teacher,               1998).

The               Madera               Unified               School               District,               in               central               California,               is               able               to               support               over               90%               of               its               817               students               with               meals               through               the               free/reduced               lunch               program               (Sullivan,               1999).
               Budgets               and               costly               new               inspection               rules               are               changing               the               face               of               school               lunch
               programs               and               menu               choices               (King,               2000b).

Some               skeptics               argue               the               free-lunch               programs               are               open               targets               for               parent               and               school               district               fraud,               since               districts               are               not               required               to               verify               parents'               self-reporting               of               income.

District               funding               is               based               on               these               results               as               well               (Snell,               2001).

Other               skeptics               suggest               the               experiences               of               food               deprivation               and               poor               nutrition               result               from               environmental               conditions               such               as               violence,               drug               additions,               and               familial               breakdown               (Murphy               et               al.,               1998).

However,               Federal               free               -lunch               administrators               argue               that               the               worst               that               could               happen,               would               be               a               kid               gets               a               free               meal               (Snell,               2001).
               It               is               the               opinion               of               the               grant               writer               that               there               is               no               argument               that               every               child               should
               have               the               opportunity               to               have               balanced,               nutritious               meals-               throughout               the               day.

Federal               budgets               support               school               breakfast               and               lunch               programs.

However,               a               school-wide               dinner               program               pilot               may               offer               the               documentation               needed               for               the               nation               to               take               a               closer               look               at               the               meal               planning               needs               of               American               youth.

According               to               James,               Rienzo,               and               Frazee               (1996)               the               National               School               lunch               Program               (NSLP)               and               School               Breakfast               Program               (SBP)               serve               as               significant               contributors               to               children's               diets.
               Significance               of               Project:
               There               lies               an               overwhelming               need               for               better               health               measures               for               students               (Johnson,
               2001).

The               Community               Childhood               Hunger               Identification               Project               (CCHIP)               estimates               about               8%               of               the               nation's               school-age               children               experience               hunger               each               year               (Murphy               et               al.,               1998).

The               proposed               dinner               program               will               increase               the               knowledge               and               understanding               of               the               detrimental               nature               of               attending               to               the               health,               nutrition,               and               thus,               the               academic               needs               of               American               youth.

For               decades,               findings               have               supported               that               a               good               breakfast               improves               academic               performance;               this               realization               boosts               support               for               school               breakfast               programs               (American               Teacher,               1998).

The               National               School               Lunch               Program               alone               serves               over               27               million               youth               on               a               daily               basis.

Thus,               the               program               provides               at               least               one               daily               nutritional               meal               for               over               half               of               the               nation's               children               living               at               or               near               the               poverty               level               (Johnson,               2001).
               According               to               Snell               (2001)               the               lunch               program               is               designed               to               provide               food               to               students               who               may               otherwise               go               hungry.

An               estimated               one               in               10               children               eats               two               of               their               daily               meals               at               school               (James               et               al.,               1996).

Free-lunch               data               serves               as               an               indicator               of               a               district's               poverty               level               and               is               the               means               by               which               the               district               is               linked               to               other               local,               state,               and               federal               funding               opportunities.

The               writer               believes               the               likelihood               that               a               school               based               dinner               program               will               result               in               positive               change               is               significantly               probable.

As               Johnson               (2001)               states,               nutrition               programs               ensure               students               can               focus               on               learning               instead               of               hunger.
               According               to               Bro               et               al.

1996               parents,               in               the               past               were               more               reliable               food               providers               for               their               families.

Changing               family               dynamics               have               parents               dashing               for               work               and               children               left               to               prepare               their               own               meals,               which               many               opt               to               skip.

Therefore,               the               consequences               of               hunger               interfere               with               the               child's               well               being               and               learning.

The               free               and               assisted               school               lunch               programs               provide               a               general               idea               of               the               students               in               the               school               hailing               from               impoverished               backgrounds.

These               students               are               generally               at               a               cultural               and               educational               disadvantage               compared               to               their               more               affluent               peers               (Texas               Monthly,               1996);               therefore,               students               in               the               free               and               reduced               lunch               programs               experience               a               negative               relationship               with               academic               achievement               (Caldas               &               Bankston,               1997).

There               exists               a               vested               importance               in               the               outcomes               that               will               be               obtained               if               the               program               receives               funding.

Awarding               this               grant               will               assist               in               "equalizing               the               playing               field".

Students               will               be               afforded               the               opportunity               to               receive               daily               nutritional               allowances;               hence,               evenings               may               be               devoted               to               homework               preparation.

As               a               result               healthier               youth               will               evolve-               body,               mind               and               soul.
               Project               Services:
               Research               and               effective               practices               suggests               elements               essential               to               a               successful               school               meal               program.

Effective               school               meal               programs               should               provide               the               daily               dietary               guidelines               mandated               by               the               United               States               Department               of               Health               and               Human               Services.

The               1996-1997               requirements               held               schools               responsible               for               providing               at               least               one-third               of               the               Recommended               Dietary               Allowances               (RDAs)               for               essential               nutritional               values               such               as               vitamins,               calories,               proteins,               calcium               and               iron               (Hunter,               1998).
               The               population               of               participants               targeted               in               this               project               is               district               students               presently               qualifying               for               the               free/reduced               lunch               program.

Although               the               program               is               hosted               at               the               high               school,               participants               from               the               district's               schools,               meeting               the               aforementioned               criteria,               are               welcome               to               participate.

This               population               will               consist               of               a               variety               of               male               and               female               students,               spanning               a               multitude               of               ethnicities,               cultural               backgrounds,               socio-economic               statuses,               ages,               and               grade-levels.
               Program               partners               and               collaborators               will               comprise               the               wealth               of               budgeted               members               carrying               out               the               program               functions.
