Appealing Organizations

The first organization that I chose was the Healthy Schools Program for the state of Mississippi. This organization has partnered with schools to help foster healthy eating and promote physical education within the school system. This is due to the fact that Mississippi is one of the leading states in obesity. The second organization is the local food pantries that are run by the churches within our community. These individuals do an awesome job at reaching out to families and children within the school systems to make sure they have a food supply. The third organization is Foodcorp of America. This organization is always giving back to the local schools and teaching the students the importance of nutritional meals and the best way to go about getting these resources. I would also enjoy volunteering or working at any of these corporations because they make such a huge difference within the community. If any jobs were available I would have the credentials, but I could use more experience when it comes to the FoodCorp corporation. I would also love to go around to the different school and work with them on ways to ensure that the children and families are eating a balanced meal.

Community Involvement.

The first community practice group that I would like to recognize would be the individuals from our Home Depot Store (Team Depot). We live in a small low income community and these individuals have donated their time and money in order to make our school systems a better place. They have worked to install new playground equipment, plant a garden with fresh vegetables for the local families, and helped to clean up our classrooms. Their services have had a huge impact on our little town and it has provided families with a food supply. The second organization that I chose was the Food Corp. they work to make sure that the children within our community have healthy meals during breakfast and lunch. They also came to help educate the children and families about the importance of nutrition and how to grow their own garden with fresh fruits and vegetables. The third group is the PTA at our school. These parents have teamed up to raise money for our school and provide our children with things such as helmets for all the children, extra hands on resources for the teachers to use for students that are struggling, and they work in the community to help get the parents involved in their child's education. They do a fantastic job at our school!!!

If I could have any job it would be to volunteer my time and services to work different preschool directors on ways to upgrade their preschool program and provide better resources for the students. I want them to understand what HUGE impact preschool programs make children before they enter kindergarten. I feel with a little more experience and achieving my masters degree I could be a good candidate for the position.
