Join us for Every Kid Healthy Week!
Every Kid Healthy Week is an annual observance to celebrate school wellness. This week provides an opportunity to get involved in a celebration to support sound nutrition, regular physical activity, social-emotional health, and health-promoting programs in schools.
Health Education Council is adapting Every Kid Healthy Week (May 9-13) to be a virtual week with simple activities and lessons following each day’s theme which kids can do in the classroom and at home. Health Education Council has prepared a teacher packet with short lessons, videos, handouts for students, and more!
Who should use this?
- Teachers
- Principals or district staff to share with their teachers and school site staff
- Community partners who work with students
- Parents who would like to participate at home
What will you receive?
-
Teacher information packet

Parent handout in English and Spanish

Activity ideas, key messages, and videos for each day
-
Slide deck lesson with student handouts for Tuesday

Optional Zoom lesson with an HEC staff on Tuesday or Wednesday (TBD) (limited availability, first come first served)
