Support Ponderosa High School’s “Healthy Living, Healthy Breakfast” Program

Ponderosa High School is an accommodation school offering unique opportunities for students to complete their high school diploma.  Through creative programs and credit recovery, our goal is to rekindle a love for learning while supporting students academically, socially, and emotionally.
We are seeking financial support from parents, local community organizations, individuals, and families to support our “Healthy Living, Healthy Breakfast” education program. You can show support by issuing your tax credit of $200 for individuals and $400 for married couples directly to Ponderosa High School.
A major goal of the school is to create a character development program that would promote healthy food education for all students in the school. As part of this approach, we are working closely with Local Alternative Catering to provide a healthy breakfast for all students in our school starting January, 2012.

We anticipate the cost of breakfast for all students to be around $13,000 (or $3.00 per student per day).  A key component to the breakfast program will be student participation. Students will participate in the operation of the program by working in the greenhouse, prepping the area and cleaning the facility after meals, assisting in food preparation, organizing resources, assisting in paper work requirements, and writing curriculum that promotes the effects of healthy foods, healthy choices, and healthy living.  The program will be designed to develop character traits such as: responsibility, compassion, diligence, sincerity, respect, virtue, fairness, caring, citizenship, and integrity.

Thanks for your support!
