KidLink™ Enthusiasm Creates Healthy Change
Healthy
messages are picking up momentum at Oxford Elementary
according to Mary Murphy, school nurse! They are:
- announcing
“Ms. Murphy’s Healthy Eating Tip”
each Friday to kids
-
reinforcing the healthy message in the classrooms
-
carrying the messages home in a family newsletter
twice a month
- brainstorming
with teachers ideas for a walking club for 4th and
5th graders
Mary
says, “Keep sending ideas....keep the information
coming!! With our busy schedules, we need the information
given to us.” Mary’s enthusiasm is helping
everyone step up to the challenge of making healthy
changes!
Building Awareness with HKC Messages
Using
teamwork and dedication to achieve a goal are familiar
strategies at Oxford Elementary. The KidLink team is
now using these strengths to impact kids’ healthy
eating and physical activity choices! They are:
- Sending
a newsletter every Friday to families and staff.
-
Using the information found in Wednesday WOWS and
other HKC resources to keep the healthy message fresh
with ideas for teachers, staff, and parents.
-
Making daily morning announcements using “catchy”
HKC tips.
Dedication
to the task at hand and working together to impact the
health of all means success for the entire Oxford team!
