Ideas for Health & Wellness Contest! Tips for Nutrition Education in the Classroom
August 01, 2011 | Written By: Healthy Schools Campaign
Schools across the country are taking a new look at wellness and working to create a school culture where messages about healthy eating and physical activity are a regular part of the school day. To support this effort, teachers are working to bring nutrition education messages into a variety of lessons and are creating innovative ways to share lessons about balanced eating and healthy habits.
This week, as part of our Ideas for Health & Wellness Contest, Healthy Schools Campaign asks:
How do you make messages about healthy eating part of the classroom?
Submissions close Sunday, August 7 at 11:59 p.m.
Remember, there are four ways to enter Healthy Schools Campaign's Ideas for Health & Wellness Contest:
Facebook. Like us on Facebook. When each week’s question is posted, respond to the question with a comment that shares your story, idea, and tips. (Please remember to share your ideas as a comment on each week’s post rather than as a general comment on HSC’s wall.)
Twitter. Follow @healthyschools. When each week’s question is posted, tweet with your idea with the tag #hscidea. There’s only 140 characters, so make ‘em count! (Submissions that do not include #hscidea will not be counted . . . we may not be able to find them!).
Blog. Each week, we’ll post a question on our blog. Share your story, idea, and tips in the comments section of that week’s post.
Email. Send an email with your idea to ideas@healthyschoolscampaign.org for that week's question. Put the question in the subject line.
We will randomly select a winner who will be contacted in respect to their submission. (Facebook winners will receive a message, Twitter winners will receive a DM, and blog commenters will receive an email). We’ll share stories and ideas from the contest in the coming weeks. All entrants will be recognized when their ideas are used.
Questions? Contact us.
Good luck! We look forward to hearing your ideas!
