A group of young teen chefs are learning how to eat and make healthy food through the Health Corps program at Cabrillo High School. Made up of mostly freshman and sophomores, the class is lead by health teacher Kelly Annin. The photography slideshow and video above show the students showing off some of their new skills.
Through its curriculum, Health Corps will focus on three areas of health education: nutrition, fitness and mental strength. The class proves to be even more beneficial for the students since recent school budget cuts cost health class in all the high schools in the city.
“I’m inspired to eat healthier because of my own personal transformation that I’ve experienced,” Annin said. “I wish that there was a HealthCorps program at my high school so I would have discovered all the amazing benefits from eating healthier earlier. I want high school kids to realize this transformation before going to college and getting a job to set them up for a better quality life.”
