From the Herald-Tribune?..
The Bradenton-Sarasota Chapter of the Links Inc. recently completed a two-year childhood obesity prevention health initiative with students at Emma E. Booker Elementary School.
The program involved more than 60 students and encouraged them to maintain a healthier lifestyle through increased awareness of healthy eating, reading food labels for nutrient values, the benefits of routinely practicing physical activity and how to help their parents plan, shop for and prepare healthy meals.
The six-week ?Can You Imagine Me?? curriculum was designed by the Morehouse School of Medicine in collaboration with the Links Inc. and sponsored by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation and General Mills Inc.
The pilot culminated with a program to acknowledge and celebrate what the students learned about healthy eating and physical activity.
At the end of the program, parents, guardians, family members and friends were invited to see the students demonstrate what they learned. The event included singing, dancing and eating healthy foods and desserts. Each student received a backpack with nutritional information, activity gifts and a certificate of completion.
