Physical Activity Participation

We have started a Healthy Eating Club. Students are encouraged to bring fresh fruits or vegetables for their morning snacks. When they are 'caught' eating a healthy snack they earn a ticket to win a fun Fuel Up to Play 60 prize.

How did you accomplish your goals?

We really had a strong response to our Heart Healthy February. We noticed a great number of students bringing in healthier morning snacks, and getting exited about the program.

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

We plan to continue the Healthy Eating Club for the rest of the year, focusing on a different health aspect each month.

What improvements have you seen at your school?

Students have really shown a greater interest in paying attention to the kinds of foods they are eating.
