We will provide a free resource package with one way to incorporate a healthy choice each day of the week. The message and activity will take 2-5mins to complete. The school can choose to have students read the daily message to the entire school or incorporate the ideas in individual classrooms. Students can use the ideas provided or get creative and make their own activities.
