WellnessFirst just finished up a 4-week wellness program for kids at Trailview School grades 3-6. Throughout the weeks kids were able to try a variety of activities such as stilts, pogo sticks, jump ropes, hula hoops, yoga, and exercises using elastic bands. The group also had a great nutrition lesson each class from Danna Woods. RD, LD. Kids learned about whole grains, how to choose a healthy snack, the benefits of buying local produce, and sampled a groovy green smoothie containing fruits and spinach (and yes! they loved it!)
The kids got a give-a-way each week that they could use to be healthy at home. They received: a jump rope, water bottle, a pedometer, an elastic band and lots of info on physical activity and healthy eating.
FirstLight partnered with Mora Community Education to provide this program.
Here are some pics of our WELLkids.
