Being from connecticut, and working with ACES, the CT school that received the PEP grant, CT is working toward a "Well Schools" Model. This model strives to provide healthy choices for students from the Cafeteria and vending machines, to the Gymnasium(Physical Education Program) and afterschool programs. The states Health Director is a tramendous resource, and most of information she presents in her address is that physical activity is the key. How much, how often and how intense is the daily physical activity. She asserts that being physically inactive is the number one risk factor for our population, and broke it down with data. She contends that health classes should focus on teaching healthy active lifesyles first, and all other areas second. It was an eye opening presentation, one all administrators, parents, teachers, and students should see. |
