Third grade students in Mrs. Compher’s class kick-off their Body Quest program by donning chef hats. Students will spend nine weeks learning about healthy living. Body Quest is a program provided by the Alabama Cooperative Extension Office. According to their website, “Third-grade classrooms in Alabama are transformed each year into a dojo to combat childhood obesity. A group of six Body Quest Warriors — a group of animated characters designed by Alabama SNAP-Ed at Auburn University — are leading the charge to teach students about the power of making good food choices. This statewide effort employs a combination of theory-driven classroom instruction, technology and evidence-based approaches to prevent and reduce childhood obesity.” We look forward to watching our students have fun learning to make healthy living choices.
