Description
BeHealthy School Kids Program is a nutrition education program targeting Pre K through 5th grade students in Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Elementary Schools. At each school, we strive to reach students, staff, faculty, and parents through bulletin boards, morning announcements, bi-monthly newsletters, class presentations, PTA workshops, and/or special events.
This year, we will be holding a Family Fitness night at Jefferson Elementary on March 29, 2012 from 6:30-8:30 PM. The event will consist of 6 fitness stations, one nutrition movie-viewing room and a water station.
