Healthy Lifestyles
Parents want to be certain they’re doing the right things to ensure that their children grow into healthy, happy adults. But how often are they given the opportunity to learn how to encourage nutritious eating and increase their families’ level of physical activity?
To support local units’ work, PTA is offering a limited number of PTA Healthy Lifestyles Awards of up to $1,000. Complete the application to qualify. (Downloadable here.) Applications must be received in the PTA Office of Programs and Public Policy by September 7, 2007. |
This November, PTA will be focusing on health and wellness. Local units are encouraged to plan events and activities that will help families adopt healthy lifestyles. Below are links to ideas and information to help you plan PTA Healthy Lifestyles events at your school. Whether your events are big or small, we hope you’ll find a way to join PTAs across the nation in improving the health of our communities. Together, we can make sure our children grow up healthy!
