BULL RUN MIDDLE SCHOOL HAS HEALTHY KIDS

Bull Run Middle School has been awarded the Virginia Action for Healthy Kids silver medal for the school’s promotion of healthy eating habits and nutritional education among students. Lisa Collis, the First Lady of Virginia and honorary chair on the Virginia Action for Healthy Kids Task Force, plans to formally recognize schools in the fall with certificates and a possible visit. The goal of the VAFHK is to improve the health of youth in Virginia by improving the nutrition of school lunches and snacks and the quality of physical activities during and outside of school. In addition, they work toward furthering instruction in health and physical education for students to help them understand the merits of good nutrition and a physically active lifestyle.
More information on this initiative can be found at the VAFHK website www.ext.vt.edu/actionforhealthykids or www.actionforhealthykids.org.
