Eat Better, Eat Together
Announcing .... October is National Eat Better, Eat Together Month!
When families eat together, meals are likely to be more nutritious, and kids who eat regularly with their families are less likely to snack on unhealthy foods.
Beyond health and nutrition, family meals provide a valuable opportunity for children and parents to reconnect. When adults, children and teenagers eat together children do better in school, have fewer behavioral problems, and communication improves. October is a great time to start having a meal with your family as often as you can.

"We need to show kids it's important to get active," says Sue Massucci, principal of Holland Elementary School in Taylor, Mich. "Getting active will help them become more physically fit, and will also make their brains more active."
An Active Learning approach is based on the understanding, supported by increasing research, that quality physical education as well as physical activity in the classroom can play a significant role in enhancing learning and improving students' academic achievement.
The EPEC resources--described as "PE-Nut" to reflect their physical education and nutrition components--entail a whole-school approach, involving teachers, students, administrators and even parents. This conviction led Massucci to embrace the EPEC curriculum (Exemplary Physical Education Curriculum) and its related products that give teachers and administrators the tools they need to foster "Active Learning" in their schools.
"I felt it would be wonderful," she says of the introduction at a principals' meeting in spring 2009. "Video games, television and so many things keep kids sitting. They need to get up and get their bodies moving." Read more ......
