Sam Houston recognized as a Healthy Recognized School; extension agent outlines wellness programs
Summary
A county extension agent told the board Sam Houston earned the Healthy Recognized School Campus award from Texas A&M AgriLife Extension for implementing Walk Across Texas, a youth garden program, and a teacher nutrition initiative.
Lorace Hill Mead (S10), a county extension agent, briefed the board that Sam Houston received the Healthy Recognized School Campus Award from Texas A&M AgriLife Extension for the third consecutive year. Mead described three wellness initiatives that supported the recognition, including Walk Across Texas (a physical fitness program), a fourth-grade youth garden program called 'Learn, Grow, Eat, Grow,' and a teacher nutrition program called 'A Fresh Start to a Healthier You.' "This is their 3rd year to receive the Healthy Recognized School Campus Award from Texas A and M University," Mead said.
Mead explained the Walk Across Texas goal (832 miles across Texas) and said students participated in tasting different recipes and gardening activities as part of the youth garden program. The board thanked the campus and Mr. Chase Plummer was noted for earning an award member recognition at the meeting. The award banner and certificate distribution were noted as customary recognition items.
