Advocating for a Healthier Environment for our Kids!

My small victories...

• "No Food Birthday" guidelines adopted at 3/6 schools in school district! (those of you who know schools, know that this is a huge accomplishment!)
• Implementation of Stoplight Nutrition at many grade levels in a K-8 school district to teach kids how to make healthy choices.
• Invitations to talk to coaches and parents involved in organized youth sport programs about healthy snacks (or no snacks) at games! Fruit and Water Only!
• City based conversations about community health fairs and farmers markets to increase access to fresh fruit and vegetables.
• Providing more PE in schools!
• Presentations to camp counselors to reduce their consumption of sugary drinks, encourage healthy snacks, and be a good role model for their campers! 
• Staff Wellness - Desk to 5K (a teacher lost 50 lbs!)
• School Assemblies local private and public schools that encourage healthy choices.
• Safe Routes to School - encouraging walking and biking to school
