Community Involvement

Students created signs to encourage healthy habits with tips and reasons why this habit is so important!

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

We plan on asking students to commit to a healthy habit and earn badges and prizes for doing things like eating a healthy breakfast, drinking more water, and eating more fruits and vegetables.

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

We are in conversation with our cafeteria manager and Aramark to see if we can get students signed up during lunch, but this is proving to be a challenge! We may have to come up with a different plan.

How did students and adults work together as a team?

I meet with student Ambassadors and we are talking about what strategies will really work, for example providing a healthy snack will teach about healthy snacks as well as encourage students to find out more about adopting a healthy habit.
