This week, schools across the nation are celebrating Red Ribbon Week (October 23-31, 2018). This annual campaign has raised drug awareness and educated youth to participate in drug prevention activities since 1988. This year with the school's focus on student wellness, Cesar Chavez Elementary expanded the drug prevention message to include loving and taking care of the whole body.  Instead of just saying NO to drugs, the school wanted to include positive messaging as well.  Two school teachers, Megan Greene and Veronica Alvarez, invited the UC CalFresh team (Marlyn Pulido, Itzel Palacios-Sanchez and Nicole Ogosi) to present “My Amazing Body” during the student assemblies for Kinder/1^st to 4^th grades. The event MC/DJ, Carlos Castaneda, did a great job getting the children excited. The students had a wonderful time getting their heart pumping, feeling the bones in their arms and giving themselves a hug because their body is so amazing! The UC CalFresh curriculum, “My Amazing Body” teaches kids to eat right, stay active, sleep well and wash their hands.  Thank you Cesar Chavez Elementary for this opportunity to promote student wellness! We are looking forward to continue implementing nutrition education in your school.
