Healthy Kids Club Celebration
During the 2007-2008 school year the Bakersfield City School District Food Services and School Health and Neighborhood Support Programs piloted a new program called “Healthy Kids Club” where students met on a volunteer basis during their lunch hour once a week. At these meetings a nutrition lesson was taught by our nursing staff utilizing the Dairy Council educational materials.Their final project was to gather for a wellness celebration that would offer students, parents, teachers, administrators, and board members an opportunity to sample food products and receive information that would be relative to improving family health.
During this celebration a number of free activities were offered to those who attended like: healthy food taste comparisons, BMI and blood pressure testing, physical activity games, and asthma screening among others.
