Wellness Rocks: It's hip to be fit!

The main focus of Wellness Rocks is to teach kids how to be fit, with a unique emphasis on having fun! If kids are fit, their body works well, they feel good, and they can do all the things they want to do, like run around with their friends.

The program will feature activities, events and competitions with a focus on healthy eating and physical activity.

November 2006: Over 100 "Wellness Rocks!" crossword puzzles and word searches were completed by TCCA students. The crossword puzzles were designed to remind students of good eating habits, and food pyramid handout were provided to the students as a way to research the answers. Word searches were provided to the younger students, who were required to find health and fitness words. As a reward, "wellness" rocks were given to those students who completed the puzzles as a reminder that Wellness Rocks! Thank you Tami Provost for your Wellness Rocks activity, and thank you to the students who participated!

Last year, for one week, TCCA students ate 36 cups of carrots, 72 apples, 25 cups of red bell peppers, 34 oranges, drank 200 cups of water, stretched for 25 hours, exercised for 50 hours, played outside for 70 hours, performed 48 hours of house/yard work and went TV-free for 63 hours - now that is healthy living!
