• NUTRITION PARENT INFORMATION LETTER

     

     

    DEAR PARENT/GUARDIAN:

     

    Your son or daughter is currently enrolled in a class called Nutrition.  This is a course designed to help students learn more about improving their overall wellness.  As such, we will be participating in a regularly walking program.  On Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, students need to come to class prepared to walk at least one mile.  Participation in the walking program is part of the student’s grade.

     

    In addition, students will also be selecting a personal health/wellness goal to work on for most of the trimester.  We have had many options in the past ranging from cutting back on fast food to exercising every day to getting 8 hours of sleep each night.  It is very helpful to have the support of parents when trying to attain a goal, so check with your son/daughter to see what you can do to help them reach their goal.

     

    Finally, this class will select, prepare and taste healthy foods and snacks.  The goal of this portion of the class is to get students to taste some healthy foods that they might not try on their own.  As such, they will be working in a lab setting using equipment such as blenders, knives and other kitchen tools that require a safety slip.  Please sign and return this form as soon as possible so that students may participate in labs.

     

    If you have any questions or comments, please call me at 763-506-6397.

     

    Sincerely,

     

     

    Laurie Jensen, Family and Consumer Sciences Department, Anoka High School
