Roosevelt Ready After School Program joined UC CalFresh to promote physical activity and healthy eating! Approximately 50 students participated in The Healthiest 5K Run On The Planet along with a MyPlate obstacle course! Students jumped over hurdles and ran through the hoop run, bean bag throw, ball weave, and javelin throw. Many of the students enjoyed the obstacle course so much they ran through it numerous times sharing “I'm going to do it again, it's fun!” Along with the run, students were given the opportunity to spin the Nutrition Wheel to answer MyPlate questions and were given tickets to enter a raffle. The raffle gave away jump ropes, footballs, softballs, Frisbees, chalk hockey, and books. Before it was over, students were provided with a nutritious bag containing snacks from all five food groups including mandarins, carrots, cheese and more. This was the third annual 5K run and UC CalFresh will continue to support students to pursue a healthy and active lifestyle!
