Portion Sizes
Avoid oversized portions. Portion sizes have increased over the years and it’s one of the reasons children become overweight. Start meals with small servings and let your child ask for more if they are still hungry. Avoid giving adult-sized plates to younger children – it may encourage them to eat too much. If you eat out at a restaurant, ask for a takeout box to take half or more of your meal home. Oftentimes, restaurants serve meals that are 3-4 times larger than a regular serving size.
Dear Parents,
This past year, your child’s school implemented a healthy eating and physical activity program called Building Healthy Communities. An important part of the program is an evaluation at the end of the school year. It means a lot to us to hear from the parents of the students in the schools with which we partnered. This evaluation provides our staff with the necessary feedback to make changes and improve upon our program for the next school year. It also allows us to document all of the positive outcomes of the program.
We understand that due to COVID, some of the programming may not be complete. Please answer each of the questions to the best of your ability.
The survey should only take 2-3 minutes to complete. Just click on the following link to take the survey electronically, by June 1st, 2021. If for some reason the link is not working, please contact Mrs. Pudelko.
The survey will also be posted under the Parent Resources tab on www.bhcwsu.org
Thank you for your participation and I very much hope your child enjoyed the Building Healthy Communities program! Don’t forget, as a participant in the Building Healthy Communities program, you will have access to www.bhcwsu.org website for future use!
