How was your year?
For second and first graders at Morton Elementary, the end of year BHC project consisted of students creating tangible "health living" portraits that could be displayed for people within their home and school community. The aim is to promote health and fitness awareness. Students also agreed to make "healthy living" shirts to display the many things they learned which attribute to health and fitness. Features on the shirts were healthy foods; healthy drinks, and healthy activities. Students worked independently on their shirts while facilitators supported their efforts. Each student was informed that the shirts would be entered into a contest and there would be first, second, and third prize winners. The three contest winner’s students received awards for the completion of their project: 1st place- Haleem Franklin (2nd grade), 2nd place- Larry Garner (1st Grade), 3rd place- Jahad Baker (1st Grade). All students then displayed their project and other BHC highlights—i.e. activities done throughout the BHC session from January thru April for their parents and the Morton school staff to see. The student’s work exhibit was held on June 18th, 2009.

Special Thanks
all ASI students and EW and ASI staff who consistently worked hard to embrace the BHC ethics and principles at home and school.
