The “Jump with Jill Assembly” rocked
the house recently at Holland Elementary School.
“Jump with Jill” is a rock and roll
nutrition concert centered on schools, public events and conferences. It’s
in-school program is called “Nutrition Rock Invasion” comes complete with a
cooking show and danceable music videos, focusing on childhood obesity with a child-appropriate approach to
wellness, reinforcing classroom learning and supporting a healthier cafeteria
menu.
The third, fourth and fifth grade
students at Holland had an awesome time last week, according to Principal Sue Massucci, rocking out
to great music and learning about the importance of a healthy diet, exercising
and living a healthy lifestyle.
Students sang, danced and did the “Jump
with Jill” rap during the high energy show to help them remember important
facts such as 1) eating healthy foods gives you lots of energy and is good for
your skin, muscles and bones; 2) breakfast is the most important meal of the
day; and 3) eating lots of junk food zaps you of energy and strength!
Many of the students thought this was
the BEST show that they’ve ever seen!
Jill left CDs for the music and physical
education teachers to reinforce songs and dance moves with the students, as
well as posters for the classrooms and autographed cards for every student.
Holland hopes to have the show return
in the spring for its younger students. The school was one of just three in the
Detroit area to receive a visit from the show.
That's very true.
