Move and Crunch Challenge

The Move and Crunch Challenge is a initiative set forth by Ms. Hackmiller to encourage students to focus on increasing their consumption of fruits and vegetables and their physical activity.  The daily target amounts for school age students are 2 cups of fruits and veggies along with a total of more than 60 minutes of continuous movement.  Please encourage your child to keep track of his/her physical activity and the amount of fruits and vegetables he/she eats using a homemade graph.  Students are encouraged to bring in their home graphs on Monday, April 7th.  Each day during lunch this week students will have the option of a healthy treat.  Ms. Hackmiller will be sharing her progress daily and has encouraged students to beat her 'moving minutes and crunching cups'.  Also, in class a graph will be filled in to encourage students to move and crunch. This is a great way to establish healthy habits that can last a lifetime.  Let's Move and Crunch!
