Winston; Tegan Hagy Cc: Anupama Joshi; Debra Eschmeyer Subject: PTA Healthy Life style Month and Grants Hello, All: Just wanted to let you know about the opportunity below. There are $1,000 awards for schools that do a great job in promoting health and wellness in their communities - Deadline is Sept. 5. Read more below and see website for more info. PTA Healthy Lifestyles is helping communities make health and wellness a priority throughout the month of November. Partner with a local PTA on a November event promoting regular exercise, good nutrition, or other healthy habits. Then, encourage the local unit to apply for a PTA Healthy Lifestyles Award of up to $1,000 to support those plans. In 2007, hundreds of PTAs across the country held health fairs; encouraged students to walk or ride their bikes to school; introduced families to new, nutritious foods; and launched ongoing fitness programs to celebrate Healthy Lifestyles. There were recipe contests, cooking demonstrations, parent education nights, walkathons, yoga classes, and more. For their outstanding commitment to promoting health and wellness in their communities, 40 PTAs received PTA Healthy Lifestyles Awards. This year's award applications are due Friday, September 5, 2008. Please note that only local PTAs in good standing may apply, but your partnership can make all the difference. For more information, go to www.pta.org/healthylifestyles.
