Does your brain need a drink? Did you know? Your brain is about 80 percent water. Getting enough water (or staying well- hydrated) can help you feel better and do better on your school work. Staying well-hydrated is also really important for kids who play sports and do activities like marching band or dance. Plain, cool water is the best beverage for children and adults who want to feel good, think smart, and stay healthy. Sodas, sports drinks, and other sweet beverages are poor substitutes for water, since they are filled with extra calories and artificial ingredients. Water is an important part of every day - getting enough fluid will help YOU be fit, healthy, and ready to succeed! Nutrition News at Our School This is a FILL-IN-THE-BLANK box - where you can insert information about nutrition in your school. This month would be great time to promote your breakfast program or after-school snacks. You could also highlight any nutrition classes or programs that will be offered in your community. You can change the color, size, and font of the text using the regular PowerPoint toolbars. NEED HELP? Ask another staff member (or a student) who is familiar with PowerPoint for assistance.

Successes Matter

RWJF Childhood Obesity Update — 2008 Risa Lavizzo-Mourey, RWJF President and CEO May 14, The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation | RWJF catalyzes efforts to prevent childhood obesity. Through the NGA’s Healthy Kids, Healthy America program, governors in 15 states are creating and implementing plans to tackle the epidemic. While each participating state is working hard, we’re especially excited about what’s happening in Mississippi. State leaders have embraced the cause of obesity prevention with a passion, despite a myriad of economic and social challenges, including restoring the Gulf Coast region battered by Hurricane Katrina. The Mississippi obesity-prevention effort may be the most integrated and collaborative in the nation, with education leaders, the public health community and philanthropies working hand in hand with government officials. Mississippi’s decision to include private foundations as an equal partner is unique, and I believe it’s a very smart approach.

Mississippi Mississippi ’ s Coordinated School Health Program (CHSP) is a collaborative effort between the Mississippi Department of Education Office of Healthy Schools and the Mississippi Department of Health.
