Snack Attack

New York City public school students eat almost 1 million meals every day! These meals are pretty healthy. But, many students get a lot of their calories from unhealthy junk foods – and they’re buying lots of those in school.

In the summer of 2019, CUP and Bronx Health REACH collaborated with Teaching Artist Susana Arellano and students from the Comprehensive Model School Project 327 (CMSP 327) in the Bronx to investigate school foods. Students got out of the classroom to document food options in the neighborhood, survey community members, interview stakeholders working on the issue, and create art to show what they learned.

Students created this booklet to help other students get involved in their school food choices.
