Wednesday on Lake Effect: School Lunch Nutrition, Healthy Lunchtime Challenge, Counselor Diversity

Wednesday on Lake Effect:

As Milwaukee students head back to school we look at a study on how school lunches affect student obesity. Then, we chat with a local winner of the Healthy Lunchtime Challenge: 9-year-old Raya El-Hajar. Later, Mount Mary University mounts an effort to build diversity among counselors. And our astronomy contributor talks about an anniversary and a new discovery in the Kuiper Belt.

Guests:

  • Kristen Capogrossi, researcher
  • Raya El-Hajjar, Healthy Lunchtime Challenge winner; Marcia Mihdawi, Raya’s mother; Susan Bence, WUWM environmental reporter
  • Eileen Schwalbach, Carrie King, Tammy Scheidegger, Mount Mary University
  • Jean Creighton, Lake Effect astronomy contributor
