Dear Mr. Duellman,
I’m writing to you because I think that Rock Ridge should offer fresh cafeteria food. Eating unhealthy foods at school at an early age can lead to bad eating habits in the future. The food in our cafeteria looks really bad and unhealthy. The majority of students don’t even touch healthy food options that may be placed on their plate. If young children were able to choose the healthy food options, they will consume it.
Students need to stop eating poor foods in the cafeteria. Any type of fruit, dairy or meat can go bad, quickly and unnoticeably. Sour foods can lead to stomach cramps, which is a problem because kids who are all sick have to stay home. The cafeteria food can lead to diseases and loss of learning in class. If kids don’t like what’s being served, then they don’t eat it. And most kids stay hungry the whole day and not focus during class because they're starving.
Our school provides cost-effective food options that often do not taste great. Sometimes, the cafeteria changes the menus in order to improve the food choices, but they still have trouble getting kids to eat healthy, especially when greasy meat lacks more appetizing then mixed vegetable and fruits.
I think that the school lunch program should be looked at and regrouped. I strongly believe that students pay a good amount of money for their lunch, so they should be getting edible or appetizing food. If healthy food is made to be tasty, then the kids will eat and have more energy for their afternoon studies. According to Administrators, heavy food and sweets put kids to sleep, it raises their sugar levels. Tasty food is much easier digested by kids in many ways. Fresh food is very important. More vegetable and lean meats will help their total health and wellbeing.
It is important that we feed our children healthier foods. When they are younger, children are impressionable and that is when they learn good habits. We should teach them the value of eating healthy to avoid diseases. Many students also need help eating nutritiously, because their families may have trouble financially, providing them with healthy food. Better alternatives are available and could easily be served in school. I would feel more accomplished if our school staff and students stand up for fresh cafeteria food.
I highly appreciate that you are taking your time to read my letter. Thank you!


Sincerely,



Tasnia Chowdhury

The House

Masan Brown   Ms. Asuncion   English 9H, Block 3   1 October 2015   The House   The box, the door, it  begged me to enter.    What lies beyond the door is my bad past,   I open the door, see and remember .   Waking in slow, I feel like an outcast.   The stairs I sat on,  waiting  for presents,   The kitchen where holiday meals were made.   I'm frozen thinking about those events ,   Thi s is where it happened, I wish I stayed.   I was scared seeing my house would hurt me,   This is where my family had fell apart.    Standing where my mom was finally free ;   As I'm in this house I feel my heartbeat.    Seeing this house is  impossibly hard,   The last thing I ever see is the yard!

Original Poem

Kathryn Stone Ms. Asuncion English 9H Block 2 5 October, 2015 Times of the Year We start with fall. Leaves crumbling from the branches. Orange, red, yellow and brown. Floating in the wind. Kids knocking from door to door. Dressed in costumes, collecting candy. Pumpkins scattered all over the neighborhood. Next we have winter. Snowing falling from the sky. Every snowflake unique. Your fingers so cold, they become numb. Waking up with the surprise of no school. Making snow angels and having snowball fights. The warm embrace of the holidays. Then we have spring. Rain plunging from the sky. Plants popping from the ground. Purple, yellow, pink and green. The Easter Bunny visits the kids’ homes. Kids playing in the puddles of the streets. People dancing in the rain. Finally we have summer. The sun shining. No school. Kids outside, playing all day. Road trips across the country. Planes flying high, making memories for fam...
