Introducing children to healthy eating habits can begin with simple and enjoyable experiences. To celebrate World Food Day, Saint Monica Jakarta School Kelapa Gading invited students to explore different types of healthy foods while learning to appreciate food in their everyday lives.

During the activity, children were encouraged to taste a variety of steamed foods, including vegetables and other food ingredients. They had the opportunity to observe different shapes, explore various textures, and try flavors they might not have experienced before.

This activity provided an opportunity for children to become more familiar with healthy food choices. With guidance from their teachers, they also learned to be brave enough to try new things and develop better eating habits.

In addition to tasting food, students were introduced to the process of growing vegetables. Through this experience, they learned that the food they eat takes time and care to grow before it eventually reaches their dining tables.

The World Food Day celebration also served as an opportunity to teach students the importance of appreciating food. Children were encouraged to understand why they should take only as much food as they need, finish the food they take, and avoid wasting food.

Introducing these lessons at an early age is important because positive habits can be developed through hands-on experiences that are repeated consistently, both at school and at home.

Through this World Food Day activity, Saint Monica Jakarta School Kelapa Gading hopes that students will not only become more familiar with healthy foods but also grow into independent and responsible individuals who appreciate the food they enjoy every day.

By providing learning experiences connected to everyday life, simple values such as gratitude, compassion, and responsibility can continue to develop as children grow.
