BREAKING NEWS: CHEROKEE STUDENTS HAVE BEGUN THE FITNESS FORWARD PROGRAM WHICH HAS BEEN IMPLEMENTED WITH THE CAROL M. WHITE PHYSICAL EDUCATION GRANT. THIS PROGRAM IS TARGETING CHILDHOOD OBESITY AND HELPS EACH STUDENT TO REALIZE THE IMPORTANCE OF GOOD NUTRITION, AND DAILY EXERCISE. EACH STUDENT IS TRYING TO GET 5 POINTS PER DAY BY GETTING 8 TO 11 HOURS OF SLEEP PER NIGHT, DRINKING NO SUGAR DRINKS, ONLY WATCHING 1 HOUR OF TV OR VIDEO GAMES PER DAY, EATING 5 TO 9 FRUITS AND VEGETABLES PER DAY, AND GETTING A MINIMUM OF 1 HOUR OF EXERCISE A DAY. THESE HEALTHY HABITS SHOULD BEGIN EARLY IN LIFE AND BECOME A WAY OF LIFE. OUR GOAL IS FOR EACH STUDENT AND FAMILY TO BENEFIT FROM THIS PROGRAM BY DEVELOPING A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE.
REMEMBER THE IMPORTANCE OF WEARING TENNIS SHOES EVERY DAY TO BE PREPARED FOR CLASS ACTIVITY!!!!!!!!!!
