MCSD: Health and Fitness Program

Objectives

Teach workshops to assist the teachers in teaching the puberty lessons as well as health and fitness related issues.
Provide the teacher with materials such as PowerPoint, overheads, and handouts that will help to assist in teaching the puberty curriculum.
Continue to provide the schools with the all important “deodorant packets” as well as puberty booklets (which are provided by Proctor and Gamble) for 5th grade students.
Conduct fitness clinics to teach the importance of fitness as well as demonstrating how easy it can be to use their gyms to set up easy workout stations instead of free play.
Provide current information pertaining to obesity and heart disease.
Provide websites for puberty information as well as health and fitness websites to help with teaching these subjects.
We can be available go out to the schools and work with teachers one on one for assistance.
We will create a news letter (once a month) that will be distributed for all elementary educators. This news letter will keep educators up to date on all the latest issues concerning health and fitness. We would also like to include a section where we can contain articles or issues of concern by our elementary students.
