Healthy Role-modeling
They
have healthy messages covered at Maude Trevvett Elementary
by quilting together many KidLinks and resources! The
pattern was started in February with "Healthy Kids
Month" that featured nutrition and exercise activities
for kids and families.
PE
Teacher, Judy Hall, began by building staff awareness
with a “Healthy Faculty Meeting" for K-5
staff with
- fresh
fruit served on the tables
-
water bottles for everyone
-
HKC slide show presentation
-
activities demonstrated from the HKC booklet “Acting
Up”
For
their positive role modeling, each week two “healthy”
teachers are being recognized by displaying their picture
and healthy quote in a main hallway; including their
quote in morning announcements; and receiving a fruit
basket.
The
"Five a Day Club" has the students and faculty
members documenting their daily 5 fruits & vegetables
servings and their 30 minutes of activity outside school.
All
look forward to getting together one Friday each month
for “Fun Fruit Friday” using fresh fruit
for a snack while they read a book that features the
fruit. Then a healthy quilt was made by the first graders
using magazine pictures of their favorite physical activities
and healthy foods.
To
tie all the messages together, the PTA hosted about
100 families at their monthly meeting that combined
"Jump Rope for Heart" with a "Wealth
of Health"
evening featuring health professionals encouraging healthy
lifestyles. |
