On the other hand, the school recorded a reduction in attention deficit and fouling and an improvement in behavior and grades.Who says so is Bo Groff, director and co-founder of the school, which still failed to prove the relationship between the events but are you sure that the time and persistence will confirm his thesis.The school is attended by 400 children and became the first in the country to offer a 100% vegetarian menu at every meal. At first, the decision of the school caused some discomfort among youth, but most families accepted the measure. Children continued to be able to take meat snacks to school, but 90% did not.To help children decide what is best for their food, school nutrition classes to weekly dedicated theme.
