How was your year?
The program’s 3rd graders were chosen to participate in the BHC project. Throughout the year students learned about the basics of nutrition. Students made several healthy and tasty snacks at least twice a month. Students went on a trip to a local supermarket (Fairway) and learned how to correctly choose produce. As their final project students chose to compile all the recipes they made throughout the year and create a cookbook. The cookbook would be gifted to the senior residents of the Logan Gardens Housing Development. In addition to gifting the seniors with the cookbook, the BHC students were also going to prepare one of the recipes for the attendees to the event. Unfortunately the trip was suspended due to potential health risks for the senior participants. The decision was made after the school was closed for five days because of health concerns.

Community Partners
The program was initially going to partner with the Logan Gardens Housing Development, a development for senior citizens and disabled individuals.
