This organization is a non-profit that helps brings families and schools together to help community members have access to healthy, nutritious food while also allowing kids to stay active in a safe, fun environment. Within this organization, there are multiple programs to help ensure better nutrition as well as access to more physical activity. One program that Action for Healthy Kids has is EnergizEd, which aims to implement more physical activity in schools for children, since the hours spent on the screen is increasing, while hours of physical exercise is decreasing. EnergizEd focuses on time spent outside of Physical Education. Meaning, planning activities within the classroom that allow students to move around and become more involved, not only in their health, but also within the lesson plan/classroom. Physical activity has multiple benefits, including more engagement, which is what EnergizEd is aiming to do, along with other goals as well. ]]> 2021-12-07 17:02:00 UTC https://padlet.com/hinze1160/f52f6pr56y7s60g0/wish/1934069051 wagner9457 https://padlet.com/hinze1160/f52f6pr56y7s60g0/wish/1934071735 Olivia Hinze, Abby Wagner, Taylor Moore]]> 2021-12-07 17:03:09 UTC https://padlet.com/hinze1160/f52f6pr56y7s60g0/wish/1934071735 wagner9457 https://padlet.com/hinze1160/f52f6pr56y7s60g0/wish/1934072443 2021-12-07 17:03:28 UTC https://padlet.com/hinze1160/f52f6pr56y7s60g0/wish/1934072443 wagner9457 https://padlet.com/hinze1160/f52f6pr56y7s60g0/wish/1934079433 2021-12-07 17:06:13 UTC https://padlet.com/hinze1160/f52f6pr56y7s60g0/wish/1934079433 wagner9457 https://padlet.com/hinze1160/f52f6pr56y7s60g0/wish/1934478552 Estimate the percentage of children who face childhood obesity.

This article covers a lot of important information about children and school lunches. Jane E. Brody, from The New York Times, talks about how a school in Minnesota is thriving with offering good food and nutrition to their students. Almost 90% of their students are minorities and nearly 90% come from poor or struggling families. With that, they still graduate 90% of their students. He also mentions that adequate food and good nutrition have a huge impact on academic success. This is shown by their graduation totals. It is important for schools to offer students breakfast. Harding Senior High offers breakfast to all students to after first period. The staff at this school have done many studies on hungry, malnourished and obese children. All of these affect the education of students negatively. In 2010, many changes began to happen. Michelle Obama created many Acts that revamped school lunches. Lunches started to offer more vegetables, fruits, whole grains and age appropriate calories. Schools were also offered meal reimbursement funds to help prompt them to participate. Many children suffer from obesity, hunger and malnutrition, this has many negative effects on children, but it is a known fact that children suffering from one of these will have a harder time learning, paying attention in school, and score lower on testing. Offering free meal options, especially breakfast, can improve school attendance, behavior, concentration and overall academic performance. Overall, the meals children eat can have a major effect on a child's education. It is important that schools offer healthy, nutritional food to their students.]]> 2021-12-13 21:39:54 UTC https://padlet.com/hinze1160/f52f6pr56y7s60g0/wish/1945631243 moore9356 https://padlet.com/hinze1160/f52f6pr56y7s60g0/wish/1945650484 Children (Ages 5-14) who experience childhood obesity simply do not exercise or have a balanced diet.
