The award funds Lakeview's "Fitness Friday - Fit for Life," a weekly 20-30 minute fitness-based activity designed to provide students the opportunity to participate in fitness activities that are fun, non-sports related, and can be applied to daily life. Students learn which activities affect muscle strength, cardiovascular endurance, flexibility and body type.
Mrs. Brooks, our reading teacher, took some photos of Ms. Grace, aka
The Vegegator, as she roamed around the cafeteria with her magnifying glass looking for students who were eating vegetables. Kids who have made the right choice at lunch are rewarded with a Happy Face sticker on their forehead.
The Vegegator sponsored a "Build a Better Body With 5-A-Day" sculpture contest. Students used at least five kinds of fruits and vegetables in a variety of colors to create a person. Check out the
photos of the children's sculptures taken by Ms. Grace.
