Get Moving Manchester 2018 for Grades 3-5

Get Moving Manchester is an optional 4-week nutrition and physical activity journal program for Manchester students in grades 3-5, potentially impacting over 3000 students. The program begins on March 19 and ends April 13. Students will be given a log at school to keep track of healthy habits based on the concept of 5-2-1-0. The concept focuses on eating 5 fruits and vegetables a day, 2 hours of screen time or less, 1 hour of physical activity and drinking 0 sugar based beverages. The goal of the program is to increase an awareness of healthy lifestyle habits.

The elementary school with the highest and second highest percentage of student participation will receive Get Moving Manchester trophies presented by the mayor and superintendent of schools. Last year's winning schools were McLaughlin Middle School and Highland Goffe's Falls Elementary School.

Incentives and raffles include Palace Theatre tickets, Fisher Cats tickets, gift cards to Dick's Sporting Goods and more. At the end of the 4 weeks, students will be entered into a raffle to win a bike donated by Bike Barn (pictured here). Click on the kickoff video link featuring the Fisher Cats mascot, Fungo.
