S.H.A.C

Recently, two of our YAB members were invited to attend the first SHAC meeting this year! SHAC stands for School Health Advisory Council Meeting. What SHAC does is help insure that students at EAPrep are getting the correct portions of food, keeping the food safe, and most importantly keeping it healthy. This year, the SHAC board members created a new and edited Wellness policy for both EAPrep campuses. Two of our YAB members were invited to show the projects we did and the statistics we made during community events. During the meeting there was lots of questions and suggestions towards editing the policy. One of our fellow members plans on creating a fruit/salad bar for our "picky eaters" at EAPrep. Another thing YAB wants to do is maybe a 5k. Students and the community can run/walk a 3 mile track. How fun!

YAB's back!

Yes, Y.A.B is back and better than ever! Last year, many events were made as well as a great impact on the community. Many things we incorporated included entertaining and spending time with the residents of R.B.J (Rebekah Baines Johnson Center), healthy living, and safe driving. WE even had some of our Y.A.B members go to Los Angeles! Twice! Thanks to NCLR( National Council of La Raza) ! This year, the Y.A.B plans on creating more fantastic events including a survey on students and people in the community during events like Southwest Key's annual Posada. Y.A.B even plans on using the money given towards them for more healthy living projects. Today the Y.A.B had a meeting. Many ideas came to mind including a health fest week at the Jain Lane campus. The Y.A.B even recruited some new yabbies! Say hello to Julissa! Recruiting yabbies have their eyes on people who are great examples of leaders and hopefully you can become one today! Become a yabbie today, tomorrow a leader!
