As a mom, I truly appreciate the effort and creativity that went into this health program that was presented to the 5th graders. I loved that the program encourages kids to build healthy, lifelong habits in a fun and practical way. My child came home excited to tell me about the “Rizzlers” — especially the Hydro Rizzler, which led to them proudly refilling their water bottle without reminders!
I also love that the program didn’t just tell them what to do, but explained why — like how water helps your brain or how protein builds muscle. It’s those little "aha!" moments that really stick. Overall, I’m grateful the school is supporting health in such an intentional and age-appropriate way. It’s a program I’d love to see continue and even expand to more grades.
