Healthy
Students at Hendricks, Loper and Coulston Elementary Schools
March
2008
Our
elementary schools were three
of 35 Indiana schools named as winners of a Healthy Hoosier School Silver
Level Award from the Indiana Department of Education, the Indiana Dairy
& Nutrition Council and Clarian Health Partners. These awards were
developed to honor Indiana schools that have policies and educational
programs in place to promote good nutrition and increased physical activity
among their students.
Student
representatives in 4th & 5th grade have been meeting with SCS Food
Service Director Betsey Flores to discuss student nutrition and how to make
healthy food choices.
