Fairview Elementary School Promotes Health
Thanks to the HealthMPowers Team for pumping-up our teachers, staff, and students at the "Power of Choice" assemblies. We started our "Catch a Teacher Being Healthy" campaign the next two weeks with great success across the board. The same week we also opened up our HealthMPowers Lab.
Our HealthMPowers Lab is a classroom that is set up with all the OrganWise Guys resources and additional Health materials that will expand the Health horizons of our students. It was a team effort in putting the lab together with parents, teachers, and our custodians setting up the classroom in record time - two days! With the HealthMPowers' materials in a central location our teachers can bring their students to the lab for lessons on Health and nutrition. We have a sign-up sheet outside the lab for classes to come in one hour increments throughout the school day and learn proper nutrition and the benefits of moderate to vigorous physical activity.
We maximize our resources by having all the materials in one classroom and there is no downtime in usage of checked out resources. However we have an additional checkout section in the back of the lab with OrganWise DVD's, CD's, and Little Organ Andy/Annie Dolls.
Our staff and parents have given the HealthMPowers Lab great reviews while visiting and using the lab. I know this lab will keep our Fairview Family on the cutting edge of Health and Physical Education and also help us increase the time we use the curriculum. We also already have the Afterschool program using the lab for physical activities (Classroom Breaks DVD) and nutrition education!
Thanks for the resources and materials that have increased the awareness of healthy living in our Fairview community!
