What is Movin’ and Munchin’?
Movin’ and Munchin’ Schools takes an innovative approach to the problem of poor nutrition choices and lack of physical activity among school children. The program encourages schools to develop creative strategies to promote healthy eating and increased physical activity among students and their families. Individuals earn “Movin’ and Munchin’ Miles” for various physical activities and wise nutrition choices.
All schools that participate will be considered for awards of up to $500 to use for improving their nutrition and physical education programs.
If your district has a WEA Trust health plan, you are eligible for an additional benefit. If at least 50% of your staff also participates in Movin’ and Munchin’ Schools, the WEA Trust will match awards given by DPI. The award must be used to encourage other physical activity or healthy eating among your staff and students.
