Here's What Participants Are Saying About Smart Moves for ME School Program

Marie Wardwell from Presque Isle Middle School in Presque Isle – Participating in  nutrition education only - Grades 6-8
"This was my first year participating in the Smart Moves For ME School Program. I really enjoyed the program and resources. It was easy to document the calendar time and implement nutrition education into the classroom lessons. I plan on participating again next year."

Lorena Gay, teacher from Milbridge Elementary School in Cherryfield – Participating in school-wide both nutrition education and physical activity– Grade 1
"I really enjoyed the binder full of wonderful ideas, as well as the on-line videos outlining how the program can be worked into an already busy classroom day. The funds received from the program to purchase nutrition resources, helped to enrich the learning of the children and encourage healthy nutritious choices in their young lives."

Charles Hartman, Principal and teacher from the Dawne F. Barnes Elementary School in Caswell - Participating in school-wide both nutrtiion education and physical activity – Grades – 6-8
"Our teachers really enjoy the program. It gives us money to work with the students and it also helps improve their fitness and eating habits. I especially enjoy having my "teenagers" try veggies and fruit that they actually never tried before."
