Schools and Students Partner to Improve Student Wellness
by Tracy Fox 29 Nov '06

29 Nov '06

National Report Showcases Model Program that “Gives Kids the Voice of Authority” A new report from Action for Healthy Kids showcases how schools and students in Massachusetts are working together to improve student wellness. The report, Giving Kids the Voice of Authority: Engaging Students in the Fight Against Childhood Obesity, features the successes of student councils in six high schools across the Bay State. Each of the schools won a competitive $1,000 grant to participate in the “Students Taking Charge” initiative, launched by the Massachusetts Action for Healthy Kids Team. Through the initiative, student councils evaluated student satisfaction with the nutrition and physical activity options available to them, as well as their satisfaction with access to health information at their schools. Using the survey results, student leaders developed advocacy plans and recommendations for specific pilot projects designed to improve wellness, which they presented to their schools along with more than 200 state legislators and community leaders. The Massachusetts student councils also helped shape the “Students Taking Charge Toolkit”, a unique resource that helps high school students assess their school’s nutrition and physical activity policies, and recommend and implement changes. The toolkit is available at HYPERLINK "http://www.johnstalkerinstitute.org/wellness/students.htm"http://www.johnst alkerinstitute.org/wellness/students.htm. Giving Kids the Voice of Authority: Engaging Students in the Fight Against Childhood Obesity is the second in a series of Field Reports published by Action for Healthy Kids and designed to mobilize change at the grassroots level by involving parents, students, and school leaders. The reports are part of Action for Healthy Kids’ recently launched “Campaign for School Wellness,” a multifaceted communications and outreach effort that brings to schools new tools and resources for strengthening their wellness efforts. To view the new report, go to HYPERLINK "http://www.actionforhealthykids.org/"www.ActionForHealthyKids.org The Society for Nutrition Education is a member of the Action for Healthy Kids Partner Steering Committee. About Action for Healthy Kids Action for Healthy Kids is a national grassroots partnership created to address the epidemic of overweight, undernourished and sedentary youth by focusing on changes at school. Now celebrating its fourth anniversary, Action for Healthy Kids is a public-private partnership of more than 50 national organizations and government agencies representing education, health, fitness, and nutrition, which supports the efforts of its Teams (including all states and the District of Columbia) made up of over 6,000 volunteers. # # # Tracy A.

Looking for short artiicle on healthy relationship with food
by Lora Beth Brown 27 Nov '06

27 Nov '06

We'd like to include a short reading (~3-10 pages long) to promote a healthy, non-obsessive relationship with food. The reading would be in addition to the text (Sizer-Whitney's NUTRITION: CONCEPTS & CONTROVERSIES, 10th ed) for our college Intro Nutrition course. This could be a consumer-friendly review or overview, a scientific journal article that touches the theme broadly, or perhaps a chapter in a book. We want something that is credible and not terribly technical, but also not too touchy-feely. We would use this at the beginning of the course to begin allaying students' fears, worries, and obsessions about "eating RIGHT." Of course we would request copyright permission and pay royalty fees. Any suggestions: something you have written for a particular audience, or something you have read? (We've tried various PubMed and Google Scholar searches, but haven't found the right key words or articles yet.) Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
