DATE: February, 2008

EVENT: Many of the Spring-Ford Area third graders are enjoying the Stuffee presentation sponsored by Nemours, Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children and Kohl’s. Stuffee is a 7-foot doll that teaches kids all about how the human body works and why healthy eating and exercise is so important.
Children learn about how food is digested as Stuffee “eats” his lunch. They find out that fruits and vegetables are better for you than fast food and sugary drinks, and that exercise makes their bodies strong and healthy. Children can listen to Stuffee’s heart beating, take his pulse, and hold the soft sculpture reproductions of his heart, lungs, intestines, stomach and other organs. Everyone is having a fun time learning how our bodies work and how to keep and stay healthy.

EVENT: Puppets Pizzazz Elementary School (K-2nd Grades) Assemblies - An interactive program with puppets, songs, exercise and audience participation all about our wonderful bodies, how they work and how we can keep them healthy!  The Puppets Pizzazz assembly about healthy choices  is currently being enjoyed by our kindergarten through 2nd grade students.  It was a HUGE success with audiences at Brooke, Evans, Limerick. Royersford and Oaks. The show will  present at Spring City and UPES later in the month. Veggie and fruit puppets gave the message through jingles and song that “more matters” when it comes to eating those two food groups. Health Necessities sung by the hygiene group – toothbrush, soap and hairbrush puppets told about good health habits and the importance of getting enough sleep, brushing your teeth and grooming. The finale had the students exercising to the song “Head and Shoulder, Knees and Toes” with Mr. Bones learning how important moving and grooving is for a strong body along with calcium from milk and veggies. A fun learning experience was had by all. We had many positive evaluations from teachers and parents alike.  Check out the fun pictures below!

EVENT: Apple Crunch Day

Here at Brooke Elementary School we had a great time on October 25th, Apple Crunch Day.

Mrs. Betsy Smith, the nurse dressed up like a big apple (see picture) and first had Wellness Wednesday on the morning announcements. The fourth grade “WW” helpers wore their apple “hats” and gave facts about apples and also safety tips for Halloween over our closed TV station. First grade helpers wore their apple hats and gave the weather facts for the day.

Our cafeteria personnel served apples all week with apple sauce, apple crisp, apple slices and apple juice.

The students really got into the spirit at lunchtime when Mrs. Smith visited each lunch in costume as the “big apple”.  

We will have a grand bulletin board displaying our “apple activities” in the lobby.

Did you know there are over 2,500 varieties of apples grown in the United States? Which are your favorites?

Happy Apple Crunch Day!!!

EVENT: Families in Motion, Community Presentation by Morgan Arthur, Spring Valley YMCA

About 35 children and adults attended the Health and Wellness Program's first of four free community presentations on Tuesday, October 24.  Morgan Arthur, from the Spring Valley YMCA, brought three staff members from the YMCA and began his Families In Motion evening by setting up eight stations where everyone could do various activities, which ranged from balancing practice to fun abdominal work to using medicine balls for lunges, to skipping rope. The evening's highlight was the versatility of each station, so that anyone with any level of ability could participate and challenge themselves at any station. Having each station so well-staffed was a big plus, as everyone was able to get one-on-one personalized attention and instruction. Mr. Arthur's experience and knowledge were a great asset to the evening.

 The evening's activities were enjoyed by all, with lots of laughter and giggling from the participants (especially the younger ones!). Teachers from both primary and secondary schools participated as well. The presentation was held at Upper Providence Elementary School, and was coordinated by our Community Presentations Chair, Betsy Smith, RN, CSN, from Brooke Elementary school. There will be three additional presentations in this year's series - one on carcinogens and cancer connections, as well as one addressing nutritional topics. Check in on the website often to see what's coming up.

On the big day everyone wore their brand new spirit wear Brooke shirts and teachers wore their blue and gold shirts. It looked like a rainbow at the assembly program. Students from the Healthy Occupation and Culinary Arts programs of our vocational school, The Western Center for Technical Studies were our guests at assembly and after a rousing sing along with Ms. Schodle our music teacher, our guests shared some ways to make healthy choices. Do you know how much fat is in a kids’ meal at a fast food restaurant? Some hints from the Western Center students: when eating, eat at the table with a portion, not out of the snack bag; exercise – take a walk after meals instead of watching TV or playing video games, use portion control. The culinary arts students made some wonderful healthy snacks in their demonstration: breakfast parfaits with cereal, yogurt and fruit; celery logs with cream cheese and raisins, fruit kabobs and pepper dip cups with veggies. Then everyone then went out to the track and walked a mile – it was really great!! Brooke teachers and staff will continue the healthy choice focus throughout the year with PE, guidance and health lessons.
