Teamwork

The John F. Kennedy music committee and fifth grade students started the year off Feeling Good about themselves and the idea of a healthy lifestyle.

How did students and adults work together as a team?

Together we brainstormed and collaborated to create a musical performance that was pleasant yet informative about the various ways a person can be physically active and eat healthy.

What challenges did you face and how did you overcome them?

Toward the beginning stages of putting the play together, we were faced with an unexpected challenge of students being unreceptive to the healthy habits that were being described during the play. Thankfully by opening night during the PTO meeting, the students realized that substituting water for sugary drinks leads to the prevention of Diabetes and other health hazards.
