I remember the students as being the most important part of this particular experience. Many of the children attending these classes were from extremely diverse backgrounds.

This tradition of excellence is the main reason I would like
Another issue is the fact that our nation's schools are failing to provide students with healthy foods in our in-school lunch programs. The school programs are making little effort to structure their menus so that the daily nutritional requirements as proscribed by the United States Department of Agriculture are being addressed.
