Wellness run amuck

At least we are not yet like Arkansas which apparently is including BMI on report cards

The data does show that more physical activity in school equals healthier children. But this new Wellness policy does nothing to encourage more physical activity.

It seems like that would have a more lasting impact on children's health and serve them better beyond their school years. If the get more physical activity at a younger age and identify sports they like, that will mean more to them than eating....lamb stew on a 104 degree day?

And $7 for lunch in middle school? Crazy!

I'll have to check in with my friend on her wellness committee activities but I am fairly certain that encouraging physical activity and maintaining funding for PE teachers and sports are among the priorities.
