This thesis work is about a nutrition and health program for the ABC Bilingual School students from 5th to 7th. * The problem was noticed by observing that many students are overweight, not being well fed, whether they are being fed with not enough healthy food or with too much junk food.* It is very common nowadays to see a student with overweight or suffer of compulsive eating disorders that could have been avoided with the right alimentation. * This affects their academic performance, growth, physical development and mental development.General Objectives * investigate if the high consumption of junk food in students from fifth grade to seventh grade causes overweight, illness and creates difficulties in their Academic Performance. * To study and suggest a right nutrition plan to help students and parents on how to choose the correct balance diet for a good nutrition. * high consumption of food in students from 5th grade to 7th grade causes overweight and illness. * On the other hand: a result of right nutrition on students will develop physical skills, they will be more active, their grades could improve or maintain stable and keep their standard at school.This study is going be focused on students from 5th to 7th graders and parents from the ABC Bilingual School.
