York Preparatory Academy is taking a look at the link between what students eat and how they learn.
The school is constructing their first nutrition based building on campus.
Before – students ate on their own or in the classroom – which teachers say was cutting into instructional time.
Now – the new building will allow food to be prepared on site and will give students a place to eat lunch together.
The school says research has shown a link between nutrition and learning. York Prep has implemented a new breakfast and lunch program to create healthier habits.
