Healthy Zone September Newsletter 2018-2019
In the September Healthy Zone Newsletter, it's all about creating a Culture of Health. This edition focuses on what defines a Healthy Zone School along with September being National Childhood Obesity Awareness Month and Whole Grains Month. Childhood obesity is on the rise with roughly 13.7 million children and adolescents, ages 2-19 being affected by obesity. These are staggering numbers! Here at Christie we are trying a number of activities to help kids be active in PE and Fitness along with a quick exercise to kick start recess. However, kids need more than what's provided at school if we're going to change these numbers. Therefore, we encourage all Christie families to complete the monthly fitness calendars and/or encourage 60 minutes per day of physical activity when they get home. Research shows that only 37.4% of children actually participate in daily physical activity. Keep moving cubs!
