3.  Have a healthy snack bar as you come down
the lunch room line.
 We will work with the principal and the lunch
room committee.
 It will give them a more variety of healthy
choices.

4.  Will make this happen by talking to the
principal so that we can put things into
action.
 They will monitor this by seeing how much
healthy food they have left over.
 We will be addressing healthy eating habits
because most students choose to eat the
unhealthy foods rather than the healthy
foods.

5.  The vending machines are redesigned to
solely sell healthy snacks that fit the
nutritional requirements of a student.
 The wellness team will work together with
vendors and principals to implement the
vending machines.
 Healthier vending machines will provide
healthy snacks that properly provide nutrition
and energy opposed to unhealthy chips and
candy.

6.  The vendors can provide an inventory of the
sales which the wellness team can assess the
success of the vendor.
 Physical wellness is the importance behind
the healthier vending machines. Healthy
snacks will lead to a healthier diet.

7.  Make it mandatory that students have a 10
minutes exercise break in class.
 The Youth Wellness Teams will work with the
principal and the class room teachers.
 It will break the students out of their
tiredness and make them more focused on
what going on in class/ more active.

8.  They will monitor this by having a designated
bell that rings to remind them to take this
break and become part of their daily routine.
 This is addressing physical well and we are
addressing this because a lot of students
have a lack of exercise.
