East Smart! Play Hard! 5210 - Numbers to live by!

We are pleased to announce that Fairfield City School District has teamed up with 5210 Goes to School, Mercy Health, Wright State University, and the Great Miami Valley YMCA to present an elementary wellness program for students and families. This program is designed to promote healthy lifestyle choices for children, youth and their families. The program emphasizes the importance of :

Eating right and being physically active can be a challenge in today's busy world. This program is here to help! As part of our wellness program, our elementary schools will be working hard to incorporate the 5210 message into our daily activities. Our hope is that this program will help support our schools in raising and educating a healthier generation of children.

Sincerely,

The District Wellness Committee

What a student has to say:

"My mom puts the newsletter on our refrigerator every week. She has even tried some of the recipes!"

"My favorite part was going to the YMCA. I am trying to get my mom to get our family a membership."

"The pedometers were a lot of fun! Did you know that it only goes up to 99,999 steps and then you have to reset it?"

What a parent has to say:

"I think this program is excellent. Children need to learn healthy habits at a young age so they can continue into adulthood."

"Good program. Lots of good information for the kids and parents!"

"I think that this is a good program for children to learn and get excited about. Hopefully, this will educate children who are predisposed to obesity. I know my child knows more about healthy eating habits and is concerned about being healthy. This program has helped."
