In order to address the District Wellness Policy, Stellar had an assembly to teach children how to make healthy choices with the 5, 2, 1, 0 production (see the 10/8/13 blog post, How to be Healthy, for more details). Classrooms are having holiday breakfast parties and many have adopted a healthy snack policy and made a healthy snack part of their daily routine.
Birthdays & Class Celebrations/Parties:
1. To encourage and provide opportunities to make healthy choices, I would like to encourage students wishing to bring something to celebrate their birthday, bring a healthy snack. Last week our class celebrated it's 1st birthday of the year with fruit cups and juice. The fruit cups were even decorated to resemble jack-o-lanterns and the class loved it!
2. At class parties we are making a conscious effort to support and encourage the District Wellness Policy by focusing on healthy choices rather than sweets and candy.
I've included links to the District Wellness Policy and Procedures for your information.
