Mrs. Renz's 4th Grade Class  Redmond, Oregon

 

Youth 4 Nation the Generation Fit Way

2006-2007

Our students learned about proper nutrition and the importance of exercise this year. Students kept track of their snacks and beverage choices and tried to improve their eating and exercising habits.  We hosted school-wide Family Body & Mind Nights and also held a Saturday "Canyon Walk for Diabetes."   Students learned a great deal and so are families!   Take a peek at our many activities this year.
