Physical Activity Participation

Our FUTP 60 Wellness Council hosted a Healthy Holiday Challenge the month of December for all students. Students were given a log to track their participation. Each student was asked to consume at least 2 servings of dairy, 2 fruits and 2 vegetables each day, along with at least 60 minutes of activity and 8 hours of sleep each night. Prizes were randomly drawn for those who participated and the classroom with the greatest participation received free passes to a jumping park. Throughout the month, the Student Wellness Council made morning announcements encouraging students and provided fun facts about nutrition, physical activity and sleep.

How did you accomplish your goals?

We educated students on the importance of eating healthy, physical activity and sleep throughout the challenge. We also encouraged students families to get involved.
