Jackson Annex Elementary School
Hempstead, New York
Parents in this New York town didn’t know what to think when their kids started jumping around during commercial breaks. In an effort to bring healthy-life changes home, PE instructors had given students ideas for getting in exercise even when it’s cold outside—like jumping jacks!
Another goal: more kids eating breakfast. Many students were skipping this crucial meal altogether or eating a high-sugar, low-nutrition snack. After a campaign to bring parents' attention to the free or low-cost breakfast offered at school, breakfast participation doubled.
