Two year project for a healthy breakfast
Power Boxes for elementary school students
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day for children and youngsters. But about a third of the children between, 7 and 9 years old, don’t always have breakfast before school. These results can be found in the “Elephants children study 2011/2012” (Elefanten-Kinderstudie 2011/2012), researchers interviewed almost 5,000 children between the ages of seven and nine years old. The earlier WHO research by the University of Bielefeld in Germany had the same results. They interviewed 20,000 children in 300 schools during the school year 2009/2010.
Elementary school students of a school in Wilhelmshaven in North Germany will received daily power boxes for a period of two years. The boxes are stocked with various foods ready to be prepared for breakfast in the classroom.
The power boxes have two goals; it gives children an important meal that will improve their results in school. And it teaches children independence, because they learn, supervised by their teacher, how easy it is to make a healthy breakfast. The two year duration of the project helps children to internalize this knowledge.
