This Friday, May 23rd, the entire student body and staff at Washington will take part in a very original health and wellness activity, Walk Across Red Oak! Food Services Director, Sharon Foote, received a grant from the Department of Education to help sponsor the program. This will allow students to take part in a healthy day that will start at 11:00 AM with a walk from Washington Intermediate to the high school with stops at College Park for lunch and Chautauqua Park for activities and healthy snacks. Both stops will include activities and information about maintaining healthy lifestyles and the importance of taking part in life-long healthy activities. Our final stop at the high school will allow the family and consumer science class the opportunity to provide recipes for healthy snacks, activities and games for our students. Students will return to Washington Intermediate by 3:00 pm for dismissal. Questions? Please call (623-6630) or email Mr. Barry or Mrs. Foote.
Students are encouraged to check out some great "healthy" learning sites to learn more about how to maintain good eating habits and healthy activities:
- MyPyramid Blast Off Game
- MyPryramid Interactive Menu Planner
