Project Healthy Schools (PHS)

It's a program for sixth graders designed to increase physical activity and healthier food choices . . . to begin now and last a lifetime. Sixth grade students participate in 10 weeks of activities during advisory, special physical education activity days, and a food and fitness tracker with individual and classroom winners. The entire school benefits from healthier food choices in the cafeteria, having a school health team that sets and achieves goals each school year and other activities.

Project Healthy Schools' goals are:

Eat more fruits and vegetables
Make better beverage choices - drink lowfat milk, water and 100% juice
Include at least 150 minutes of physical activity each week
Eat less fast and fatty food
Spend less time in front of the TV, computer (unless you are doing schoolwork), all screens.
