Eating healthy food and staying active makes you strong, happy, and ready to learn! At SHEAT Public School, we believe that healthy kids learn better. Good food gives your brain and body the energy to focus, play, and grow. Our school works hard to teach kids about nutrition and wellness in a fun and easy way. Let’s explore how SHEAT Public School helps students eat well, stay active, and shine in class!
Why Healthy Eating Matters for Kids
Food is like fuel for your body. Just like a car needs good gas to run, your body needs healthy food to work well. When you eat nutritious meals, your brain stays sharp, and you feel great. Here’s why eating healthy is so important:
Better Focus in Class: Healthy foods like fruits, vegetables, and whole grains help your brain think clearly. You can pay attention to your teacher and remember what you learn.
More Energy to Play: Good food gives you the power to run, jump, and have fun with your friends.
Stronger Body: Eating right helps you grow tall, keep your bones strong, and fight off colds.
Happy Mood: Healthy meals make you feel good inside and out. You smile more and feel ready for the day!
At SHEAT Public School, we want every kid to know that eating healthy is fun and easy. Our school makes sure you get yummy, nutritious food every day.
What Is Nutrition?
Nutrition is all about eating the right foods to keep your body healthy. There are different kinds of foods that help you in different ways:
Fruits and Vegetables: These are full of vitamins and minerals. They make your eyes bright, your skin glow, and your body strong. Think of apples, bananas, carrots, and spinach!
Grains: Foods like rice, bread, and oats give you energy to run and play all day.
Proteins: Foods like eggs, chicken, beans, and nuts help your muscles grow big and strong.
Dairy: Milk, yogurt, and cheese make your bones and teeth strong.
Healthy Fats: Foods like avocados and nuts keep your brain and heart happy.
At SHEAT Public School, we teach kids to eat a “rainbow” of foods. This means eating lots of different colors on your plate, like red apples, green broccoli, and yellow bananas. A colorful plate is a healthy plate!
SHEAT Public School’s Healthy Lunch Program
At SHEAT Public School, lunchtime is exciting! Our school serves healthy, tasty meals that kids love. We make sure every meal has:
Fresh fruits and veggies
Whole grains like brown rice or whole-wheat bread
Lean proteins like grilled chicken or lentils
Low-fat milk or yogurt
Our cooks use less sugar and salt to keep meals good for you. We also have fun theme days, like “Veggie Superhero Day,” where kids try new vegetables and learn why they’re so powerful. Our lunch program helps kids try new foods and find healthy meals they enjoy.
We also make sure every kid can eat. If a family needs help, we offer free or low-cost meals. No one goes hungry at SHEAT Public School!
Fun Nutrition Lessons in Class
Learning about food is part of school at SHEAT Public School. We don’t just eat healthy—we talk about it, too! In class, kids learn:
How food helps your body grow
Why water is better than soda
How to read food labels to pick healthy snacks
How to make simple, yummy recipes at home
Teachers make these lessons fun with games, songs, and activities. For example, in science class, you might grow a small garden and learn how plants turn into food. In art class, you could draw your favorite healthy meal. These lessons help kids understand why nutrition matters.
Staying Active at SHEAT Public School
Being healthy isn’t just about food—it’s about moving your body, too! At SHEAT Public School, we make sure kids stay active every day. Here’s how:
Physical Education (PE): In PE class, kids play games like soccer, tag, and relay races. These games make your heart strong and your body fit.
Recess: Every day, kids get time to run, climb, and play outside. Fresh air and exercise make you feel happy!
After-School Sports: We have teams for basketball, volleyball, and more. Sports teach teamwork and keep you active.
Dance and Yoga: Some classes include dance or yoga to help kids stretch and relax.
Moving your body helps you sleep better, focus in class, and feel great. At SHEAT Public School, we make exercise fun so every kid loves to stay active.
Wellness Tips for Kids
Wellness means taking care of your body and mind. Here are some easy tips from SHEAT Public School to stay healthy:
Eat Breakfast Every Day: Start your day with a healthy meal like oatmeal, fruit, or eggs. It gives you energy for school.
Drink Water: Water is the best drink for your body. Try to drink 6–8 glasses a day.
Get Enough Sleep: Kids need 9–11 hours of sleep every night. Sleep helps your brain and body grow.
Try New Foods: Don’t be afraid to taste new fruits or veggies. You might find a new favorite!
Limit Sugary Snacks: Candy and soda taste good, but too much can make you tired. Choose fruit or nuts instead.
Wash Your Hands: Clean hands keep germs away so you stay healthy.
Talk About Your Feelings: If you’re sad or worried, tell a teacher, parent, or friend. It’s okay to ask for help.
These tips are simple, and SHEAT Public School helps kids follow them every day.
How Parents Help Kids Stay Healthy
Parents play a big role in keeping kids healthy. At SHEAT Public School, we work with parents to teach kids good habits. Here’s how parents can help:
Pack healthy snacks like fruit, yogurt, or veggies for school.
Cook meals together at home to learn about healthy foods.
Encourage kids to play outside instead of watching TV.
Talk about why eating well and staying active is important.
