Dear
Parent/Guardian,
Your
child has accepted the challenge! Over the next ten weeks, our team will be
taking a journey through Live Healthy Iowa Kid’s 10 Week Wellness Challenge.
The challenge is designed to increase physical activity and encourage healthier
food and beverage choices. Over the next ten weeks, your son/daughter will be tracking
their activity minutes, as well as (during two week time periods), fruit
consumption, vegetable consumption, ounces of milk, ounces of water and minutes
in front of a screen (television, computer, phone, Gameboy, etc.). Outlined
below is the tracking schedule. Every two weeks, they will bring home a new
tracking sheet and at the end of the two weeks, your son/daughter will need to
return the sheet to me by the following Monday (as outlined on the sheets). Some students have chosen to leave their tracking sheets at school to have them readily available.

Your
help and assistance in the challenge is vital; parents/guardians are a great
support system! We will need your help reinforcing healthier food and beverage
choices, providing healthier options and encouraging more physical activity.
Our
team would enjoy being able to try new, healthy snacks that we may not have
been able to try before! If you are able to provide our team with a new, healthy
snack, let me know when you are able to provide that snack and what you are
bringing! Please keep in mind the above schedule – we would like our snacks to
align with what we are tracking!
Thank
you for all of your support during this challenge!
