A grade 1-5 Be A Fit Kid curriculum is now available for adoption and institutionalization by elementary schools. Each participating school is provided with inservice days for teachers and staff, nutrition and physical activity workbooks for children and parents, program monitoring and evaluation, and materials related to the nutrition and physical activity intervention.

To the maximum extent possible, Healthy Kids Now will support the initial institutionalization of Be A Fit Kid into interested elementary schools.

In partnership with Southern Oregon University, Be A Fit Kid is offered through the nonprofit organization, Healthy Kids Now, and is a National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute’s ‘We Can’ community site. The mission of Healthy Kids Now is to foster life-long healthy habits in children and adolescents through collaborative efforts that combine healthy nutritional choices with physical activity.
