“As a teacher, Walk On! encouraged me to think out-of-the-box when it came to incorporating physical activity and healthy food choices into our daily schedule. We tried to interject exercise as much as possible including the use of ‘jumping out’ math problems or using fitness movements to spell out vocabulary words. Students were learning, being active and having fun all at the same time! I also developed food challenges for my students to try a new fruit or vegetable from the salad bar at lunch and to increase their overall servings. My students started eating so many fruits and vegetables at lunch time that our lunch ladies had to increase the produce order and provide different types of vegetables and fruit in so my students could continue to try new things. I consider this program a big success with my students.”
