Physical Activity Participation

We here as coaches at E.B. Guerra Elementary strive to make our students understand the importance of drinking milk for strong healthy bodies. We preach daily the important nutrients that milk contains, especially calcium for strong bones and teeth. We walk into our cafeteria and actually drink milk with our students. We then all go outside for recess for some moderate to vigorous physical activity. We honestly believe that we've changed our students attitude toward milk drinking. We can see the added strength in our students performance as well as bright, beautiful smiles!!!

How did you accomplish your goals?

The coaches and student leaders would select different students each week to promote drinking milk during breakfast and lunch.
