Healthier US School Challenge
USDA has created a Healthier US School Challenge. Schools can qualify for the awards if they meet the established guidelines. The goal is to improve the health of children by improving the school environment. In an effort to reach the required guidelines and submit an application, we may be improving the quality of health education and nutrition received by the students.
Suggestion to have choices including the new salad which is being served in the high school and middle schools because it has been well received by the students.
Annual Report of the Anthony School Health Advisory Council
The required report was created and submitted by Marlene White. The report included the dates of the meetings held and the activities that have taken place in the past twelve months.
Coordinated School Health
Concerned voiced that programs such as CATCH and The Great Body Shop may be paid for and not being utilized in the classroom. There are five approved programs of which one must be implimented. Region 19 may be able to help with the curriculum integration with CScope in the classroom. Additional information may be need to confirm that we are receiving enough materials for all grade levels as well as the materials necessary. The goal needs to be to find out what has been purchased at the elementary school and then confirm that it is being utilized. John Howard and Yolanda Zermeno will follow up with the elementary administration and report back with finding.
Sex Education
The elementary school students have already receive the annual Growth and Development classes. The middle school students are schedule to receive the annual Teens and Sex and Two Should Know presentation in June. The high school education classes are still pending scheduling and finalizing the content that will be most beneficial for the high school students to received based on the classes they have already attended. PAPAS sponsored by the Attorney Generals office is program that may presented by Marlene White and Yolanda Zermeno which discusses the legal responsibilities of parenthood. Teenage parent speakers may also be an option. Suggestion to have a question and answer session with opportunity to address specific topics they may already have on their minds. Perhaps address the reasons why teens are still getting pregnant even after receiving sex education.
