Healthy Eating = Healthy Kids

Friday, September 26, 2008


Today, at school, we had a big celebration and ribbon cutting for our new walking track. We celebrated Health and Wellness with each grade taking a health-related theme. Third grade theme was "Healthy Eating." There were many dignitaries, including Jackson Public School's new superintendent, JPS board members, Wade Overstreet of Blue Cross Blue Shield, and many more! It was a great day for our school to showcase its greatness. Mrs. Johnson's class came out in FULL FORM (as we always do!). My class is known for its fun and outrageous headgear/accessories for special events at Van Winkle. So, I had to figure something out to live up my name. Ha!! When I left school yesterday...I had absolutely NO idea what I was going to do, if anything. So, I made a stop by Hobby Lobby for inspiration. That was a bad idea! I found all kinds of fake fruit and fruit picks. I also bought a few visors, ribbons, and some headbands. You can only imagine what I came up with! Felicia came over last night to help me with this project for 21 kids!

Mrs. Johnson's Fruity Bunch...the whole group!

Yes, this sign was a last minute idea (made this morning) and held up by my broom!

The "fruity" headbands...and the "broomstick sign"

All Vegged Out!
"Fruity" visors

Having fun at the ceremony!
I'm pretty sure we made the JPS channel! Ha! I'll let you know. :)


All in all, we had a great day! Thanks to Mrs. Land for putting together such a nice ceremony!
