Grade 8 Visits SAGE at Great Mariani Hall

Students in grade 8 are currently learning about biomolecules and how nutrition is closely linked to the study of biomolecules because we take in these molecules in the foods we eat. The carbohydrates, proteins, and fats we eat create the building blocks for the biomolecules found in our bodies. Students have been creating menus and learning about different nutrients found in the foods they consume.

To see how these lessons can be applied outside of class, grade 8 students took field trips to meet with Eric Morales, the general manager of SAGE Dining Services at Saint Andrew's, at Great Mariani Hall.

Mr. Morales gave the students a tour of the kitchen and taught them about how the employees work together to make the food our students, faculty, and staff enjoy each and every day. The students enjoyed seeing the kitchen staff at work, learning about the different machines used to make the food on campus, and walking in and out of the refrigerators and, of course, the freezer.
