Nelson Rural School was once again recognized by the Heart and Stroke Foundation due to our participation with the Heart Healthy Schools Program.  We have completed all challenges thus far and are currently working towards the Be Active Challenge.

Nelson Rural School personalized bottles for prize winners during the week they emphasized water! They shared other challenge week activity ideas: 1. Fruit/Vegetables: Students were given the name of a fruit or vegetable that they will learn about and then create a poster with prizes of fruit/vegetable trays for the winning classrooms and smoothies for everyone who participates. 2. Screen Time : Families are asked to email pictures of non screen activities they are doing at home during the challenge week such as playing a board game, baking, doing puzzles, etc and they have three prize draws for participation.
