AWCPA Students Show EPA Leaders How They Prevent Food Waste

Aurora West College Preparatory Academy (AWCPA) students are showing EPA regional leaders how they prevent food waste at their school. The student-led CHOICES Club started an initiative to recover uneaten food from the Breakfast After the Bell program. Breakfast After the Bell provides Colorado students with nutritious breakfast meals after the school day begins.

The CHOICES Club is focused on making AWCPA as sustainable as possible, so when students noticed that uneaten food from the breakfast program was being thrown away, they jumped into action. With support from school staff, the Aurora Public Schools Nutrition Services Department and Division of Finance, the club has been donating to local food banks and homeless shelters via a partnership with a local award-winning organization, We Don’t Waste.

Since August, the school has donated more than than 1,300 servings. On Tuesday, November 17, the CHOICES Club will show EPA leaders how the program works.

The schedule will be as follows:
(8:15 a.m.) Guests arrive
(8:30-9:00 a.m.) Breakfast in the Classroom
(9:00-9:20 a.m.) Food is sorted and prepared for donation
(9:30 a.m.) We Don’t Waste Donation pickup
(9:30-9:50 a.m.) Time for interviews

*Please note this event is dependent on weather conditions. If school is delayed or cancelled, we will reschedule the event.*
