Good News

Finally I have something to work up to. For days I've been wondering 'what am I going to get out of this?' 'what am I suppose to have at the end?' Now I know. Yesterday I emailed Mrs. Johnson about a wellness committee that I heard the school had at some point. Although it only consist of staff now, but I can make that work to my advantage. What I am planning to do is get a student population of this committee started up, so there can be more communitcation between the students and the teachers about our lunch and other issues that may come up. By the time I'm finished with this project I hope to have more than just a wellness committee talking about food, but discussing other issues that students and teachers have problems with in the school. But for now I'm sticking with the food.

Update

Here's an update on whats going on since the last time I blogged. I have now officially switched my topic to school lunch guidelines/programs. My essential question is 'Who is responsible for school lunch guidelines and should it be updated?'. I'm working on my timeline for my project which is more difficult than I thought it would be. I found a lot of information on food programs that the government funds and I'm comparing it to the time and money that is spent on the school lunch program to help parents who might not be able to afford their child's day to day lunch. I am also looking at a committee that I hope still operates in our school, if it does it will be a big help to my graduation project. If not I'm planning to try and restart the program myself, which will also be helpful to my project.

Switch

I would like to switch back to my previous topic dealing with the lunch programs. The project I'm doing right now doesn't really have a point, so I don't think I have a very high success rate.

Trouble

I had to get rid of some web sites I had written down because some of them weren't much help. Others repeated the previous sites I had looked at. I am also having trouble coming up with some good foundation quesitons. Most of the questions I think of already have an answer, so I cant' ask them at all.
