The Sequoia Union
High School District Wellness Advisory Council and the Sequoia Youth
Advisory Board hosted a trio of food fishbowls. The fishbowls took place
on October 21, December 2, and January 26.
A fishbowl is a way to get people’s opinion on a
certain subject. The way a fishbowl works is there is an inner circle
and an outer circle. The participants sit in the inner circle and the
observers sit in the outer circle. The participants are asked questions and the observers listen and learn.
The supporters that attended our fishbowl included members of the school board, parents,
teachers, community leaders, food services department, and students. From the discussions, a few
themes emerged: food content and presentation; mealtime environment; student
awareness/knowledge, involvement, and access; and budget issues. After this series of fishbowls, our hope is that most of these
issues get improved.
