The mission of the Arkansas Coalition for Obesity Prevention is to increase physical activity and healthy eating to reduce and prevent obesity. They have created the "Growing Healthy Classrooms" program and are encouraging all teachers who promote healthy eating and physical activity to submit an application. The winning teacher will receive recognition at the 2017 NAPSACC Early Childhood Conference. Winners will also receive a press toolkit, which includes a parent letter, drafted social media posts and a newspaper article template.
This is a great way to share with families and the community about the efforts being made to prevent obesity and live a healthier lifestyle in your classrooms.
To fill out an application and to find out more, follow the link to the Coalition's website:

We would also love to hear what you are doing in your classrooms to promote a healthier future. Please share with us on our Facebook or Twitter pages below with #Growinghealthyclassrooms |
Plan a Literacy Night for families! National Family Literacy Month is a great time to "Fall Into a Good Book"! Check with your local library and see if they have any resources for families or if they are available to come out and talk to families.
