McDowell Elementary School is
building a healthy community with help from a grant from Blue Cross Blue Shield
of Michigan, Michigan Fitness Foundation, UM Project Healthy Schools and
United Dairy Industry of Michigan.
Wayne State University is leading McDowell’s
program.
The program has the goal of providing
students with education, opportunities and encouragement to be more physically
active and choose healthier foods throughout the day and carry these important
health messages home to parents/guardians. The long-term goal is a decrease in
obesity among children in Michigan.
The school received amazing recess
equipment and continuing lessons from Wayne State Coordinator Kerry Minshew,
who brings the most yummy fruit snakes, resources for our website and wonderful
health-themed books and a book case for the school library.
Very soon McDowell will be having a “Healthy
Kids Club” after school.

learners!
