Bellevue Elementary School
Our wonderful day of Nutritional Olympics, a day filled with physical activities that concurrently educate our students about healthy choices, almost came to a screeching halt when it began to pour down rain. Nevertheless, our Bellevue Bulldog crew came together to figure out a quick solution. We packed up the activities into transportable crates, and each mentor rotated through all six grades. We played Berry Relay Races, Pepper Toss, Carrot Hop and all sorts of games. Nayeli, a first grader, said that her favorite activity was learning about tropical foods while playing Coconut Bowling.
This day was really important because many of our kids are overweight. By teaching them about healthier choices to make with their food, we could potentially be saving their lives. I’m so excited for our next day of Nutritional Olympics (hopefully it’s outside next time)!
