AISD Observes Wellness Days Throughout School Year

Disponible en:

Healthy Kids = Happy Kids … Niños sanos = Niños felices

The district’s Child Nutrition Services Department, with support from Health Services and Athletics departments — will be promoting selected Wellness Days throughout the school year. Wellness Days promote and teach students about leading a healthy lifestyle and its importance for living a long, healthy life. The first upcoming Wellness Day is Friday, September 24, in honor of Fruits and Vegetables Month. Students will be encouraged to add more healthy fruits and vegetables into daily meals, with vegetables the largest portion of their plate.

September 24 is also Fresh Farm Friday districtwide. The Child Nutrition Services Department will be highlighting fresh and locally grown squash. Samples will be available to all students at lunchtime.

Whether you are a teacher, a principal, a parent, or a caregiver, everyone is encouraged to make their wellness a priority. Stay tuned for more information on District Wellness Days.
