Play:

Community Playtime – It’s Good for Everyone

Topics:

Community Involvement, Physical Activity Participation,  Teamwork

We created a Facebook page to promote healthy life styles for our students. We, as a school, would like to promote health and wellness. We invite our students, staff and parents to share their knowledge. We encourage our community to post recipes for good healthy, nutritious meals. We would like to see how our families stay active indoors and outdoors. We welcome invitations to events which promote healthy life styles. The more we share the more we learn and together we can build healthier lives. So please go like our Facebook page Barnes Living Well. We would love to see how other schools promote healthy living style. Share your pictures and other ideas you may have.

How did students and adults work together as a team?

By sharing their ideas and pictures on our Facebook page.

How do you plan to make this Play last during the school year and beyond?

I plan to post my ideas and our students' ideas throughout the school year on our Facebook page.

What improvements have you seen at your school?

The students are getting active by having their parents post on our page.
