The Nutrition and Wellness Committee would like to recognize two of our outstanding Oak Grove Elementary Teachers that have gone the extra mile to incorporate healthy eating and exercise into their classroom. This month's winners of the Healthy Spot Award are Mrs. Schafer and Mr. Kuefler. Mrs. Schafer was nominated because "she encourages only healthy snacks in her classroom and she provides daily dance breaks (including moves like the Macarena) in order for the children to get their wiggles out." Mr. Kuefler was nominated because "he provides morning exercises with his class every day and encourages students to bring fresh fruits and vegetables for snack." Congratulations to both teachers for being such great role models for our children.
