Healthy Hearts

We are 4th and 5th graders from Mildred Barry Garvin School in East Orange, NJ.  We are a 6 member Community Problem Solving Team whose project focuses on Proper Nutrition and Exercise in order to maintain a healthy body and mind.

     Our team consists of 4th graders Jessica, Jalese
5th graders Nasir, Tanjera, Jada, and Alex.
     The team created a "Walking Club" at school to increase the amount of exercise for children in grades 3-5.  The walking schedule is as follows:
 
Monday & Wednesday  grade 5    12:30pm - 12:50pm
Tuesday &Thursday    grades 3-4 12:30pm - 12:50pm

     We also gave the children a survey to fill out so that we could study the physical activity and nutritional habits of the childrenm at home.  The results will be part of the project to be submitted for State and International Competitions.
     The team is also organizing a PowerPoint presentation to be presented at a PTO meeting to parents on:
 
* How to Read a Nutritional Label
* Good Fats/ Bad Fats
* Exercises at Home
* Good Eating Habits and Snacks for Children
