The BodyWalk presented by HealthMPowers

The Body Walk is a tool used to teach students about their body.  It is a walk through exhibit that talks about various body parts, organs, health enhancing behaviors and choices.  Students met the "Organ Wise Guys" at each station and as they were leaving the Body Walk each student received a workbook to use in the classroom or take home to help reinforce topics discussed.  

Sugar Hill Would like to thank all of our volunteers and HealthMPowers for coming out and helping to make The Body Walk an enjoyable learning experience for our students.  

For more information go to HealthMPowers.org and The Organ Wise Guys.

Sugar Hill wins the Governor Gold SHAPE award 2 years in a row!

Sugar Hill earns the Governor Gold SHAPE award

Dear Parents,

I am writing to give you an update on our Wellness Initiative at Sugar Hill.   We have achieved the Gold Shape award from our state governor for increasing exercise opportunities for our students and for removing sugary drinks from our vending machines. 

Our goals for this year include making an effort to serve healthy snacks for celebrations such as birthday parties.  If you plan to bring a class treat this year for your child’s birthday, please choose a healthy alternative to cupcakes or candy.  Some ideas might be natural popcorn that is free from excessive salts and preservatives, fruit such as grapes, veggie dippers, or water bottles instead of sugary drinks.  I can’t promise that we will never serve candy or cake, but we are going to make a promise to be conscious of the amounts of sugars, carbohydrates, and fat contents that we are offering to your children for treats.  As always, feel free to contact us about any dietary concerns that you have for your individual child. 

We are looking forward to a healthy, happy year.  Thank you for your support for wellness for all children in the Sugar Hill community. 

Sincerely,

 

Beth Skarda
