Bethesda Elementary
Atlanta, Georgia

Events, Teamwork and Collaboration

Routine events and parties are taking a healthy turn to make the messages last in the classroom and outdoors!
In the health class room, the best class is rewarded with healthy food fun - for kids and adults alike! Using the Dole 5-A-Day cookbook recipes, nutritious snacks make a colorful tasting party.

Team work and collaboration are turning physical work into a fun activity for all. Parents, students, art and health classes are combining forces to ready an outdoor classroom garden area for spring! With the red fence as a background, they’ll look forward to watching their garden grow!

Turning everyday chores and routines into healthy fun helps Bethesda Elementary beat the winter blues!

Stirring Up Healthy Messages

Bethesda Elementary is stirring up healthy messages and shining a light throughout the school! KidLink team members are teaching mini lessons to parents and kids, and organizing cafeteria tours and nutrition theme bulletin boards to provide healthy habit awareness.

KidLinks worked together to transform the blank cafeteria walls into a colorful, mural! The message continues when fun physical activity tips and suggestions are added to the weekly parent newsletters.

Second graders loved their fun, artistic, and healthy Halloween! While pumpkins were given creative “veggie faces”, there was a discussion of healthy nutrients found in the face parts.

What a great example of hands-on learning! Thank you Bethesda! Your actions are making a difference for many!
