Heathy Habits Committee
With the support of Ms. Kamau, the goal of this committee is to encourage healthy eating habits on campus and to promote an overall active and healthy lifestyle for our children. Learning to eat healthy foods is just as much a part of their curriculum as reading, writing and math, so we are excited to have this opportunity.
From birthday to holiday parties throughout the school year, children and teachers have numerous reasons to celebrate. Celebrations are a great way for children to feel part of the school community, where the learning environment is made festive and where children, teachers and parents can come together to enjoy a break from the routine. Traditionally, school parties often center around food. Foods such as cupcakes, cookies, candy, chips, pizza, and juice boxes, are often the central components of school party menus. While these foods, in moderation, are not too harmful, these unhealthy choices have almost become daily norms in the classroom, rather than exceptions.
We encourage you to plan classroom celebrations that include active games, crafts, and healthy foods and beverages. Remember, focus on FUN rather than FOOD whenever possible. When creating sign up lists be sure to include lots of healthy food options, and limit sugary items and deserts. Click on the link below for a long list of healthy school snack ideas.
