 ACTIVE LIVING

CATCH:  HLN plans to sponsor a second CATCH training for school administrators, teachers and food service directors at the end of the school year. 

The Coordinated Approach to Child Health (CATCH) incorporates physical activities and healthy food choices into curriculum standards for children from preschool through grade 8.   

CATCH classroom tools include a card file of simple physical exercises and nutrition-oriented activities that only take a few minutes in between other lessons. 

HLN is very interested in extending CATCH training to preschool environments.

If you would like to be notified of the June 2010 training, please email hlnassistant@sbcglobal.net. 

An 'EAT SMART' training will also be available for school food service directors.  'EAT SMART'  is a component of the CATCH program that provides information about how to plan, purchase, prepare and promote healthy menus as well as ways to coordinate classroom nutrition education and health messages with teachers, parents, administrators and the community.   

For more information about these trainings, please email hlnassistant@sbcglobal.net or call Jackie at 274-2459.
