Q & A with Casey and Suzy
Why did you get involved with Movin’ and Munchin’?
Casey: “In 2005, the Department of Public Instruction and the WEA Trust approached us and asked us if we wanted to help spread their message about the importance of healthy 
eating and exercising regularly. Suzy and I were immediately on board and became co-chairs of the program. We know how important health programming is in schools and we also know it is often the first thing to get cut when school budgets are tight.”
“Just as we expected, participating in the Movin’ and Munchin’ program has been very rewarding. I'll always support programs that help fund health and fitness programs in schools.”
What has been the most rewarding part of your participation in the Movin' and Munchin' program?
Suzy: “I just love to see the looks on the kids' faces when we run into the gym for the Movin’ and Munchin’ events. They all chant USA, and then Casey and I come running out from a back room or the hallway.”
“You can tell the kids are truly excited about building healthy habits, sometimes they just forget how important it is. That is why Casey and I love doing the Movin’ and Munchin’ events. We have the opportunity to talk with the kids, show them that exercise is fun, and remind them of the importance of making healthy choices every day.”
Why is the Movin’ and Munchin’ program so important for schools?
Casey: “The Movin’ and Munchin’ program is important because teachers can incorporate reminders about eating healthy foods and exercising regularly into their daily curriculum.” 
“The activity levels of kids vary greatly. The Movin’ and Munchin’ program helps motivate students and staff to be healthy and rewards them for their efforts.”
What is your favorite healthy food?
Suzy: “I love string cheese! It's an easy snack to eat on-the-go, and it has a great nutritional value.”
