15%–The Challenge
Look around a kindergarten classroom.
Unless we take
action today, about
half of these kids
will be obese
adults.The Challenge
One out of three children are overweight or obese.
On a given day 30‐40% of children and adolescents eat fast food.
Children spend more than 7.5 hours a day in front of a screen for
non‐school purposes.
Kids view more than 40,000 commercials on TV each year and
87% of the food and beverages they see are for unhealthy foods.
Only one in three children are physically active every day.
Only six states require physical education at every grade level.
Institute of Medicine, President’s Council on Fitness, Sports & Nutrition, American Pyschological AssociationA National Crisis
“…being overweight or obese has become
the leading medical reason recruits are
rejected for military service….”
─ from The latest national security threat: obesity
By retired U.S. Army Generals John M. Shalikashvili and Hugh Shelton,
both former Chairmen of the Joint Chiefs of Staff
The Washington Post, Friday, April 30, 2010Why Schools? Schools reach most children and adolescents. Children spend around 1,200 hours per year in school. Teachers, school staff and parent volunteers are key role models. Curriculum standards for health include nutrition and physical education. School teach kids what we value and what is important in our community.
Healthy Kids Learn Better. Good Food + Active Bodies = Kids Equipped for Success

Are we sending consistent messages?
How do we reward
our students?
48Congratulations to all students who participated in the President’s Fitness Challenge! Donut party for all Presidential Winners before school on Friday!
“Rewarding children with unhealthy foods in school undermines our efforts to teach them about good nutrition. It’s like teaching children a lesson on the importance of not smoking and then handing out ashtrays and lighters to the kids who did the best job listening.” Marlene Schwartz, Ph.D. Deputy Director, Rudd Center for Food Policy and Obesity, Yale University Alternatives to Food Rewards, Connecticut State Department of Education, 5/2005, revised 11/2011
But it’s just a mint..! One mint per day adds up to over 3 cups of additional sugar and 3,600 extra calories over the course of a school year.
In class, students learn about nutrition, healthy eating and the importance of moderation.
Yet in some
classrooms
students eat birthday
treats over 25 times
each year.Fundraisers support sports, music, art, technology and many other school activities.

Physical
Activity
In class, students learn that physical
activity is critical to lead a long and
healthy life.Yet recess time is taken away to make
room for academics or for disciplinary
purposes.Daily physical
education
classes, once
routine, are
now offered
by less than
10% of all
