Red Ribbon Week
Hello Penngrove Families,
Red Ribbon Week is a dedicated time during our school year when, as a Penngrove Elementary community, we share ideas and support each other in promoting healthier eating and a more active lifestyle for our students, our families and our staff.
With this link you will find a handout with some ideas to support your whole family as you make healthier lifestyle choices. It’s important to note that these are not “rules”. They are simply tips to help spark your own creative ideas for your family. Any combination of these small steps can add up to make a significant difference to your family’s health and help build healthy habits for life.
We will have a FREE healthy snack on Tuesday, October 29th for all students (while supplies last) at snack recess. However, please help us encourage your children to try new and healthy food choices by sending healthy snacks and lunches to school all week. The link above has some healthy snack ideas to help with this goal!
Finally, to celebrate a healthier community for all, our entire school community will “Wear Red” on Wednesday, October 30th.
Red Ribbon Week offers an opportunity to challenge your family to try some new foods this week, make half of what you eat fruit and vegetables from all colors of the rainbow, limit screen time, enjoy family meals as often as feasible and move more! Thank you for taking the time during this week to discuss healthier options with your families.
