K-5 Get Healthy

The American Heart Association recently launched its 2015 GET HEALTHY! Poster Contest for Rhode Island schools. Students in grades K-8 are asked to draw a picture of their favorite physical activity and favorite healthy food(s), demonstrating how they GET HEALTHY!  In addition to being entered to win great prizes, posters will help educate lawmakers about the importance of supporting policies that promote access to healthy foods and safe places to play and be active in our communities.  Students began working on these posters and we're coming up with some very interesting ideas such as these vegetables being expelled from cannons. Be sure to submit your contest application no later than April 8th to have your poster sent in.

We have many, many super submissions going to the contest. Here are just a few!

Some lessons have been taught to multiple grade levels. Not all schools participate in the same lessons due to budget, materials, student needs, etc. Please leave a comment with praise, questions, or ways to polish.
