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 ...
How many times have you heard that regular physical activity does a body (and mind) good? Well that is true for parents and children alike! As parents – not only is it important for us to lead a healthy and fit life so we set up the right foundation for our children to lead fit and healthy lives themselves-- but it can also help us manage stress. And what parent doesn’t have stress? Join Stephanie Hoaglund – K12’s online community program manager and blogger of http://www.livefitandsore.com as she discusses the importance of making a commitment to lead a healthy and fit life, strategies to incorporate fitness activities into your family’s daily life, and resources to support and inspire you along the way.
