Moving Towards a Healthier You Program Summary
Moving Towards a Healthier You is a public health program created by Junior
Emma Martin that was implemented into the Columbia public school system in the fall of
2015 and has continued thus far. The program visits Oakland Middle School for two
four-week sessions, one in the fall and one in the spring. Each session includes 16 active
teaching sessions with the children. Emma Martin the Moving Towards a Healthier You
Chairwoman directs the program, and pre-nursing SNA members teach the lessons. This
program teaches middle school students about what a healthy lifestyle is, side effects
from an unhealthy lifestyle, and how to make small positive changes in their life to make
a big impact on their health. Little changes are made each week by the students, which
they are encouraged to keep for that week and integrate it into their daily routine.
This program has 23 dedicated pre-nursing students who volunteered over 32
hours in the Columbia public school system in the 2015-2016 academic year, reached
over 600 middle school students at Oakland Middle School, and exposed children to
different kinds of foods and exercises to implement into their lifestyles. Plans to expand
this program are being executed currently by networking to different schools to
incorporate our program. Our tentative schedule for the fall of 2016 is to expand to
another middle school along with our current location and reach over 1,200 students. The
mission of our program is to teach the next generation how to live a healthy lifestyle. By
implementing this program into middle schools locally we are progressing towards a
healthier Columbia community and creating future advocates for public health.
