Did You Know? When it comes to preparing family dinners, teens often lend a hand. In a survey conducted
for the second annual National Eat Dinner Together Week (Sept. 28 - Oct. 4), they found that:
72% of teens say they take part in meal preparation at least once a week
36% shop for groceries
31% prepare side dishes
20% prepare the main dish
17% prepare full meals
The size of your fist is a good guide to judge the portion sizes of the food you eat. So, just make a fist!
The Advisory Council The Teen Fitness Champion Advisory Council is made up of two students from each
participating school. Teens that attended and participated in the first Focus Group last
summer also serve on the Advisory Council. The Advisory Council will meet periodically
to discuss ways we can keep the program interesting and fun. The Advisory Council will
also participate in the review and judging of the Finish Line School Project. A February
meeting is being planned.
Teen Fitness Champions Sponsors
Reporting Being a Teen Fitness Champion means reporting weekly on
your physical activity and eating habits. We want to know how
many times you took a walk, jogged and participated in physical
exercises. We also want to know what kinds of food you are
eating. Every Friday we want you take a few minutes and let us
know how you are doing. Beginning February 6, 2006, reporting
this information will help you gain points to win prizes. Your first
report is due Friday, February 17th.
For each report that is submitted on time, through email or by
calling, each Teen Fitness Champion can receive 10 points. Each journal that is submitted on time and fully completed will be worth
50 points. Journals should be returned to your TFC advisor. In the
next newsletter you will hear more about how these points can
earn you prizes.
