Executive Summary
Fuel Your Brain, Not Your Belly is a program that has been developed in hopes
of reducing rates of obesity. With Michigan having one of the highest rates of obesity in
the United States, it is time to take charge and implement a program that will reduce this
life threatening epidemic. Obesity stems from a lack of knowledge in nutrition and
exercise. This program will involve building a foundation for the children within their
schools in the West Bloomfield School District that will educate them on how to live a
long, healthy life. If children are taught from a young age about how to stay healthy and
fuel their brains, there is no doubt that we can reduce rates of obesity. We are requesting a grant in the amount of $50,000 from The Gates Foundation to assist in funding the startup costs of our venture. These startup costs include the costs of local produce, nutrition days, raising awareness, and Fuel Your Brain goody bags which include helpful take home information for the children.
Proposal Description
Children that grow up with a lack of knowledge in nutrition and exercises to stay
healthy, tend to have a greater chance of becoming obese. When a child lacks knowledge
of proper nutrition and a steady exercise routine, they are not only affecting their physical appearance. The inside of their bodies are significantly affected. Obesity decreases an
individual’s life expectancy, reduces attention span and ...

"this last establishment will probably be within a mile of Charlottesville, and four from Monticello, if the system should be adopted at all by our legislature who meet within a week from this time, my hopes however are kept in check by the ordinary character of our state legislatures, the members of which do not generally possess information enough to percieve the important truths, that knolege is power, that knolege is safety, and that knolege is happiness." - Thomas Jefferson to George Ticknor, 25 November 1817[2]

Healthy zone newsletter sep and consent 3Chad Handley
This document summarizes information about a Healthy Zone School Recognition Program. It informs parents that their child's school has been selected to participate in the program, which recognizes schools for healthy practices and assists schools in creating healthier environments. As part of a study evaluating the program's effectiveness, students will complete fitness assessments and surveys. Teachers will implement health activities and complete surveys. Schools will work with program organizers on engagement opportunities. The program aims to enhance promotion of physical activity, fitness, nutrition and health. It provides benefits like funding and equipment to participating schools. Parental support for healthy lifestyles is encouraged. Contact information is provided for any questions.
The document describes a proposed project by three students, Carrie Nickel, Mia Matthews, and Kara Lechtenberg, for their community partner Happy Heart Farm's Food School program. The Food School aims to educate children on nutrition and healthy lifestyles through hands-on lessons in a school garden. The students' project involves creating a newsletter for parents of third grade students at Olander Elementary about the Food School's composting lesson to increase awareness, support, and involvement of parents. The newsletter will provide an overview of the lesson and ideas for reinforcing the concepts at home to improve child and family nutrition habits. The goal is to help expand the Food School program to more schools.
Kells Kids is a proposed startup daycare business in Cleveland, Ohio that will serve children ages 6 months to 6 years. It will open with 20 children. The business aims to provide high-quality childcare with appropriate ratios of teachers to students, trained teachers, and a curriculum focused on child development. The business plan outlines market research showing there is demand for childcare in the area given demographic trends, as well as goals to create an enriching learning environment and utilize government assistance programs to serve local families.
Chapter 16 Feeding Toddlers & Young ChildrenEarlene McNair
The document discusses feeding behaviors and nutrition for toddlers, young children, and those with special needs. It covers how physical, motor, and social development influences eating habits at different ages. Key recommendations include providing nutritious meals based on MyPlate, allowing children to determine how much they eat, being a positive role model, and making mealtimes relaxed. The document also addresses creating supportive feeding environments and choosing healthy snacks.
This document discusses balancing saving for retirement and paying for college. It notes that things were different for previous generations who had lower college costs and more robust pensions. While the most expensive option is paying for an Ivy League education, focusing only on retirement means children may have limited college options. The best approach is open communication where both retirement and college are prioritized, including getting children involved in saving for college. Tax-advantaged retirement accounts can be used for college with some pros and cons. 529 plans are also an option after addressing retirement needs. The document provides details on Alabama's 529 plan options.
The document discusses the importance of education fees planning to ensure one's children receive a quality education. It notes that costs for university and private schooling have risen significantly in recent years. Guardian Wealth Management can help clients plan their education savings through various options like investments, bonds, and tax advantages to have the funds needed for their children's education costs. Starting a fees plan early allows more time for savings to grow and makes financing their education with minimum hassle.
This document lists over 30 questions about planning and paying for college costs effectively. It emphasizes that informed decision making and planning at each stage can help maximize financial aid, scholarships, and other options to potentially save tens of thousands on college costs compared to uninformed decisions. With expert guidance, families can develop optimal funding strategies tailored to their individual circumstances to afford today's high college prices, which now average over $250,000 for a single child's full education.
The document discusses strategies for saving for college, as college costs continue to rise significantly each year. It recommends starting a college savings fund as early as possible and saving a portion of projected costs, such as 50%, to use as a down payment with the rest covered through financial aid, loans, or other sources. The document reviews several tax-advantaged college savings options including 529 plans, Coverdell ESAs, U.S. savings bonds, and UTMA/UGMA accounts. While financial aid can help cover costs, the document notes that student loans typically make up the largest percentage of aid packages, so it is important to focus on savings to minimize reliance on loans.
Saving for a child's college education in the child's name can negatively impact eligibility for financial aid. Money in a child's name counts as an asset for the child on financial aid forms, which reduces potential aid at a higher rate than the same amount saved in the parent's name. It is generally better for eligibility for financial aid to save in an account owned by the parents, such as a 529 college savings plan, rather than in the child's name in an UTMA or other custodial account. The name an account is titled under can have a significant impact on the amount of financial aid a student may receive.
This document discusses strategies for achieving financial goals through proper financial planning. It notes that many life goals like funding education, home ownership, or retirement require a sound financial strategy. The document then discusses services offered through World Financial Group (WFG) to help individuals assess their needs and create a customized plan. Key services and products mentioned include assessing cash flow, managing expenses, debt reduction, life insurance, retirement planning, and investment options. The overall message is that taking control of finances now through working with WFG can help achieve future dreams and goals.
This document provides background information and context on Common Core State Standards. It begins with a list of acronyms related to education policy. It then discusses concerns about Common Core overreaching into homeschooling and shaping what public students are taught. The document outlines support for Common Core as providing clear standards to prepare students, but also notes criticisms such as Common Core being copyrighted and its lead architect David Coleman having political connections. It provides information on organizations involved like NGA and cites proper attribution of the standards.
The document provides instructions for requesting a retirement letter from the Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy (MCPON). It notes to allow 8 weeks for processing and delivery and to ensure all submitted information such as the retiree's name, rank, retirement date and requestor's contact details are correct and in the specified format.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

"The Compact" is Making It Easier to Educate Our Military Children
The Interstate Compact on Educational Opportunity for Military Children ("the Compact") is one of the
ways we are working to increase the resiliency of our military families and make our military children as
successful as possible.
When military families receive orders to relocate, there are a lot of things to consider. Finding a new
home and settling into a new community are at the top of nearly every Service member's list. Military
families with school-age children also need to figure out how best to make the transfer to the new school
system as smooth as possible. In particular, they may be asking the following questions (and others):
• Will my child be able to enroll in extra-curricular activities?
• Will my child's records transfer in time to get enrolled into the right classes?
• Will my child be able to get comparable special education services or accommodations in our
new location without having to first be tested?
These concerns are exactly what the Compact strives to address. The Compact provides states with
common guidelines to follow in handling issues that impact children of military families as they
transition between school systems. These issues include records transfers, immunizations, class
placements, extra-curricular activities, and graduation requirements among others.
The goal of the Compact is to eliminate the confusion and struggle that often comes with relocation and
to implement a uniform policy in every school district in every state that joins the Compact. We
recognize that military families, like all families, want a quality education for their children, so it's
important that relocation and deployment do not interfere with that goal.
What does the Compact look like in action in states where it has been adopted? If your current state
allows children to start kindergarten at age five, but your new state requires children to wait until six
years of age, your child will still be able to continue in kindergarten. If your teenager has completed
similar coursework in your current state, your new state can waive certain graduation requirements in
order for your teen to graduate on time.

2. MC&FP Weekly (February 10,2012) 2/13/2012
If your child can't attend cheerleading tryouts because of your move, your new school must facilitate an
alternative way to compete for the team. If your child is currently enrolled in special education services
or a gifted program, your new school must accept the previous placement until they have enough time to
do their own evaluation.
As more and more states adopt the Compact, and as these states implement these changes at the school
district level, the easier and smoother it will be for our children to transition between school systems.
Forty states have already signed on to the Compact and we expect another five or six states to sign on
this year. Already roughly 90 percent of our military children are covered under the Compact!
As the remaining ten states sign on, we will continue to update you on the Compact's progress. You can
find out which states have already signed by visiting http://www.mic3.net. If you have a comment,
question, or story to share about the Compact and its impact on your family, please join our discussion.
The DoD recognizes that military families also serve. We are committed to supporting you and want to
ensure your children have high quality educational opportunities no matter where your next move takes
you. Until next time, be well!

Weekly Tips
Military Community and Family Policy Weekly Tips
Nutrition Tip of the Week - Getting Your Dairy (Part I)
Dairy is important to our diet as it provides calcium, vitamin D, potassium, protein, and other nutrients
needed for good health throughout life. The Dairy Group includes milk, yogurt, cheese, and fortified
soymilk. Make your dairy choices low fat or fat-free to cut calories and saturated fat. But just how much
dairy do we need? Older children, teens, and adults need 3 cups* a day, while children 4 to 8 years old
need 2½ cups, and children 2 to 3 years old need 2 cups. For some tips to help you eat and drink more
fat-free and low-fat dairy foods, take a look below:
• "Skim" the fat: Drink fat-free (skim) or low-fat (1%) milk. If you currently drink whole milk,
gradually switch to lower fat versions. This change cuts calories but doesn't reduce calcium or
other essential nutrients.
• Boost potassium and vitamin D, and cut sodium: Choose fat-free or low-fat milk or yogurt
more often than cheese. Milk and yogurt have more potassium and less sodium than most
cheeses. Also, almost all milk and many yogurts are fortified with vitamin D.
• Top off your meals: Use fat-free or low-fat milk on cereal and oatmeal. Top fruit salads and
baked potatoes with low-fat yogurt instead of higher fat toppings such as sour cream.
• Choose cheeses with less fat: Many cheeses are high in saturated fat. Look for "reduced-fat" or
"low-fat" on the label. Try different brands or types to find the one that you like.
• What about cream cheese?: Regular cream cheese, cream, and butter are not part of the dairy
food group. They are high in saturated fat and have little or no calcium.
* What counts as a cup in the Dairy Group? 1 cup of milk or yogurt, 1½ ounces of natural cheese, or 2
ounces of processed cheese.
Parenting Tip of the Week - Help Prevent Tooth Decay
Valentine's Day is just around the corner and your house will probably be full of sweet treats. But did
you know that tooth decay is the most common chronic childhood disease? To help prevent tooth decay
follow these simple tips:
• Resume routine dental care after you PCS with your family.
• For children who are over age two, brush their teeth with a pea-sized amount of fluoride
toothpaste and make sure to floss daily (as soon as two teeth begin touch).
• Limit sugary snacks and sweetened drinks.

If you want to make changes to improve the way you eat and your body weight, the first step is to
identify what you do now. This includes becoming more aware of
• what and how much you eat and drink
• how physically active you are
• your body weight
People who are most successful at losing weight and keeping it off track their intake regularly. Tracking
physical activity and body weight can also help you reach your weight goals.
Get started identifying what you eat and drink:
• Write down what and how much you eat and drink. Find a way that works for you. Use a
journal, log your intake on your calendar, keep track on your phone, or use an online tool like the
SuperTracker.
• Start by identifying what you've already eaten today. Be sure to include how much as well as
what you ate. Don't forget to include drinks, sauces, spreads, and sides. It all counts.
• In addition, write down the physical activities you do, and how long you spend doing each
one. Log each activity that you do for at least ten minutes at a time. Every bit adds up. Use the
SuperTracker, a journal, a tracking form, or mark a calendar.
• Once you've identified what you are doing now, keep it up! Tracking what and how much
you eat and drink, your body weight, and your physical activity can help you manage your body
weight over the long-term.
Stumbling Blocks:
Concerned about identifying what you eat and drink? Here are some common "stumbling blocks" and
ideas to help you overcome these barriers:
• "I'm interested in using an online tool, but I don't have Internet access every day." If you
don't have regular access to a computer, you can begin by simply writing down what, when, and
how much you eat in a journal. Just writing down what you eat and drink helps you become
more aware.
• "It takes a lot of time to track my intake." The fact is that tracking works. Find a way that you
can track your intake that works for you - writing what and how much you eat and drink in a
journal, your day planner, or your calendar.
• "By the time I get to a computer, I've forgotten what I ate." For tracking to work, it needs to
be complete. If necessary, carry a food journal or log your intake on your smart phone. Logging
what you eat immediately will help your tracking to be more accurate.
• "I can identify what I ate, but have no idea of how to figure out how much I ate". Measure
out foods you regularly eat (such as a bowl of cereal) once or twice, to get a sense of how big
your typical portion is. Check the serving size information on the Nutrition Facts label of
packaged foods. It describes what the "standard" serving size is, and how many are in the
package. Use the grain, vegetable, fruit, dairy, and protein food galleries to see what sample
portion sizes look like, and compare them to how much you ate.

Financial Tip of the Week - Basic Strategies for Simplifying Your Financial Life (Part 1)
Page 5 of 10
6. MC&FP Weekly (February 10,2012) 2/13/2012
Ways to eliminate clutter organize accounts and streamline how you manage your money.
There are many reasons to organize and simplify your financial life. Eliminating clutter, saving time,
and reducing stress are surely among them. And here's another motivating factor: Not keeping tabs on
your finances can be costly if it results in fees or interest charges you could have avoided, investment
losses, additional taxes, or other pitfalls. There is a checklist of nine basic things you can do to get your
money matters in order...and keep them that way.
1. Use direct deposit. Ask to have your pay, pension, or Social Security benefits automatically
deposited into your bank account. Direct deposit is safer, easier, and more convenient than
getting a paper check in the mail and then having to deposit it into your bank account. It may
even help you avoid bank fees. Direct deposit also gives you access to your money sooner than
with a paper check.
2. Automate recurring bills. Many merchants, such as insurance companies or utilities, will allow
you to pay recurring bills with an automatic withdrawal from your checking account or through a
charge to your credit card. However, be sure to record these transactions in your check register to
avoid overdrawing your account. And if you charge the bills to a credit card, pay the balance in
full by the due date to avoid interest charges. Many banks also offer online bill-paying services
that allow you to pay bills quickly and easily. These programs generally allow you to sign up on
your bank's website to receive bills electronically from companies you do business with. Then
you can review the bill and pay it using that same website.
3. Explore online banking. This service lets you review deposits and withdrawals, keep track of
your balance, and move funds between, say, your checking and savings accounts - at your
convenience. For example, with online banking you can quickly review your account and make
sure you didn't forget to record any debit or ATM card transactions in your check register. You
can get an update on whether funds from recent deposits are available for withdrawal. You might
even be able to receive your bank statements online instead of in the mail.
4. Put some savings on autopilot. Arrange with your bank or employer to automatically transfer a
certain amount into savings accounts or investments on a regular schedule. Automatic savings
programs can make it easy to build an emergency fund or save for the future. Also, if you invest
in stocks, mutual funds, or other non-federally insured assets, it has been documented that
making investments on a regular basis can result in a higher return over time than trying to time
the market.
5. Consider consolidating accounts. Think about how many different financial institutions you
use and how many accounts (savings, checking and investments) and credit cards you have. You
may be able to simplify your finances, reduce mail and paperwork, avoid certain fees and even
get better deals by consolidating multiple accounts. Consolidating accounts also can make it
easier to monitor your entire portfolio and ensure that your money is properly diversified.
Spouse Tip of the Week - AcademyWomen and United States Chamber of Commerce Launch
eMentoring Program for Military Spouses - GET CONNECTED TODAY!
Unemployment among military spouses is at an unacceptable rate of 26%, largely due to their frequent
relocations and lack of traditional career networks. But with the help of the White House "Joining
Forces" Initiative (which helps connect veterans and military spouses with employers who want to hire
them), AcademyWomen has partnered with the United States Chamber of Commerce's Hiring Our
Heroes Program to help fill these gaps. AcademyWomen and the Chamber are successfully bringing
people together to address the career and employment barriers military spouses face by launching the
MilSpouse eMentor Program, the nation's premiere virtual career-building network designed specifically
for military spouses.
