Understandably so, childhood obesity is becoming quite an epidemic and schools are taking a proactive stance. My school – one of their goals for the year – is to promote wellness (as I’m sure many schools agree upon). I’ve been coming across some really cute ideas regarding candy and “sweets” lately – things that seem to mesh well with my personality. However, I do not want to go against wellness; I certainly do not want the students to think it’s okay to eat an abundance of sweets (although, we will always reinforce this), but these ideas would be so “sweet” and motivating for them. Should I talk to my principal or…do you think it’s safe to go with this theme? Ideas? Suggestions?
