To promote childhood health and wellness, National PTA created Healthy Lifestyles Month. Throughout the month of November, PTAs nationwide participate in PTA Healthy Lifestyles Month by conducting programs and events that promote health education, physical activity and parental involvement. Knowing that a healthy child can achieve and learn more, PTAs are encouraging families to increase their physical activity, eat fresh fruits and vegetables, develop community oriented physical activity programs and promote healthy lifelong behaviors. National PTA’s malt_o_meal190x88.jpgHealthy Lifestyles Month has encouraged PTA to get creative and develop clever initiatives that make living healthy fun.

Stonewall PTA introduced their school to the “Healthy and Fit Stonewall” program. This program was developed by the Stonewall PTA with the driving focus to promote nutrition and physical activity education to the student body. The “Healthy and Fit Stonewall” program involves students tracking their fruit and vegetable consumption as well as their physical activity. Students set a goal of trying to consume the recommended servings of fruits and vegetables per day as well as complete 60 minutes of physical activity each day. Students collected their favorite fruit or vegetable snack recipe to be printed in the Healthy and Fit Stonewall cookbook.  Stonewall PTA also promoted the concept for indoor recess to teachers and encouraged teachers to get their students physically active during inclement weather by providing each teacher with a packet of information and ideas for different indoor games and activities.
