I need to thank you for your free offer. I targeted our 6th grade class with this program. Our students have a lot misinformation about nutrition and a proper diet. "Exercise your Options" workbook was terrific. We committed an entire academic PE Quarter towards it. We have concluded the excerise and our students are more aware of nutrition and intake.

I have utilized the Dairy Council program in my Physical Education classes for 3 years now and it is helpful for the 7th & 8th graders. I am having the students this year for example be food experts by making commericals via our computer/visual arts dept. and showing them during our school news broadcasts. We are going to also present their food expert findings to the adjacent elementary school students. I have been meeting w/ each student during nutrition class and working with them to set up goals for healthy diet and exercise plans which is from CA PE standard guidelines. Encouraging them to go with their parents to purchase foods they haven't tried and talking with their parents about food is important. Also, listening to them and encouraging them to try new foods is helpful as well.
