“The Mission Generation Textbooks are in line to claim the values that our school was missing. The MG Textbooks are an educational teaching tool that gives us important guidance on how to lead a healthy diet and develop healthy life habits. Students in higher grades are taught to care, in various aspects, for the development of both their physical and emotional health; to help care of their body, mind and spirit. The curriculum gives guidelines on how to have healthy food habits so students avoid falling into the dangerous addiction of eating unhealthy food consistently. We as a school, want to reinforce in our students the importance of a healthy life style. Good nutrition and exercise are key building blocks to intellectual development. Healthy life styles make it so that students can stay focused longer on the subject at hand. We have also experienced less absent days from students who often tend to be ill.
Working with the MG material gives us the right tools to work with students on values such as responsibility, respect, companionship and timeliness. I have seen a great change in our school’s health, not only physically but emotionally and intellectually as well. Thank you Mission Generation on behalf of every teacher in our school, parents and mostly healthy students.”
