Kids Food Festival
So, do you New Yorkers know what you're doing this weekend? If you don't, we have an idea!
Why don't you stroll on down to the Kid's Food Festival in Bryant Park, NYC?
The Kids Food Festival is a weekend event that focuses on teaching kids and their families about eating healthy. The festival works to prevent childhood obesity by helping kids form good eating habits in a way that’s fun. A percentage of the proceeds earned go toward Share Our Strength, a nonprofit charity with a goal to end childhood hunger in the United States by the year 2015.
If you're in the NYC area and you're not too busy this weekend, we highly recommend you stop by. We sure are- it's going to be a good time!
Check out the Kid's Food Festival website and follow @KidsFoodFestNYC on Twitter for more information!
Middle/High School Work Load: Too Hard to Handle?
Hey pals!
So, if your school's anything like ours, you probably spend hours every night doing homework. Sometimes, we don't get to sleep until past 11 pm on school nights because we have so much work to do! The amount of homework teens like us get would be hard to keep up with on its own, but when you add sports, activities, clubs, dance lessons, jobs, acting classes, and just hanging out with friends to your after school schedule, it can make your head spin.
Studies show that teens need about 9 1/4 hours of sleep each night to function best, although 8 ½ hours is enough for some. Most teens do not get enough sleep – and if you asked a classroom of high schoolers why, the answer is almost always because they stay up late doing homework. One study found that only 15% of teenagers reported sleeping 8 1/2 hours on school nights.
Students are forced to make the same decision every night: should I finish my homework or go to sleep on time? It's like teachers don't realize that we get homework in every subject, not just theirs.
So what’s the problem here? Is it that teachers assign too much homework? Or do students need to manage their time better? Either way, something needs to be done about this. Not getting enough sleep can affect your ability to concentrate, cause you to eat unhealthy foods, and even worsen your overall physical health.

Now, this video is by no means educational, but it's so funny we had to share it with you anyway. Enjoy... :B
