Today, seniors DeAnna, Hayley, and Stephanie presented a class on healthy eating to the 7th graders and highlighted a cool website, www.foodfacts.com. I had DeAnna and Hayley in my class the first year I was a teacher at Groton. They did an excellent job and I wish them well next year when they enter college. This was a part of the New Visions program all three attend. Above, Star and Tristan sample Waldorf salad, humus, and pita chips that the presenters prepared for us as an example of a healthy snack.
