January Business Pathway Day - Food 4 Fuel Field Trip
|
Roosevelt Business Pathway students were invited to visit Food 4 Fuel, a local business which prepares and sells healthy meals for individuals and families.
The business owner, Jim McIlroy, was extremely generous with his time and food. Students were served a meal when they arrived and then were given a full tour of the entire business inside of the Carlson Ice Arena. In addition to the food, Jim shared many business insights with our students and the ups-and-downs of being an entrepreneur. At the end of our tour, Jim invited the students to take home even more food. We are extremely grateful for his generosity! If you are interested in learning more about this community partner and a healthier lifestyle, you can visit Food 4 Fuel at the Carlson Ice Arena (4150 N Perryville Rd, Loves Park, IL 61111) or check them out here! |
Food 4 Fuel Guest Speaker - October Pathway Day
|
Jim McIlroy, owner and operator of Food 4 Fuel in Loves Park, stopped by to talk to the Business and Fitness/Wellness Pathways. Mr. McIlroy brought fresh fruit for students to snack on while he discussed the offerings of his business and entrepreneurship in general.
The main point that Mr. McIlroy made with students was that they should always have a “why” in everything they do, whether that is going to school, going to work, or starting their own business. Mr. McIlroy also discussed the importance of good nutrition and a balanced diet, while sharing with students his weight-loss journey and his goal to take Rockford from one of the most un-fit cities in the United States, to a top 25 most-healthy city by 2015. Students were so well-behaved that Mr. McIlroy offered to bring some fresh food for students to sample on another visit and has invited Roosevelt students to visit him and see his kitchen up-close on a future field trip! |
