MCDOWELL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL: Joins the NFL in partnership for better health



What do McDowell Elementary School and the National Football League have in common?

They are now part of a campaign that was launched by National Dairy Council, in collaboration with the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). The program, in more than 70,000 schools, provides youth with concrete opportunities to improve healthy eating and physical activity.

On Tuesday morning during announcements, the student council led our classes in a physical activity break. We received a grant to be involved in the “Fuel Up” campaign. Student council members will also be interviewing staff members to find out their favorite healthy snacks to share with our students.

McDowell's gym teacher, Brian Bell, wants to remind everyone, "just get moving!"
