Healthy Living

We had a great time talking about underage drinking and the effects of alcohol and the brain. They had many great responses and were challenged to create a 300-500 word essay about the consequences of underage drinking.

They were also challenged to create a healthy meal with their family. Many students had amazing chicken recipes and smoothies.  They had many great choices as meals and were excited to share their mentor's message of his favorite fruits!

The main meal that was shared amongst most students was a type of black bean, chicken, and avacado (some students left out the avacado) enchilada. This sounded delicious and many students tend to make it with their families. So, not only was it a great way to eat and stay healthy, but it created a space to have some shared family time.

  1. What a great way to tap two strong ways to address making healthy choices. I can not wait to hear more about the families reactions to the new meal!
