2015-2016 Playbook
There are five plays in both the Healthy Eating and the Physical Activity Play categories; you must choose one from each category for your application. We especially love the Breakfast—Anytime, Anywhere Healthy Eating Play that guides students to work with the school’s dietitian to adopt an alternative breakfast model like breakfast-in-the-classroom, Breakfast After First Period, or Grab n’ Go Breakfast.
