Miner Receives a $1000 Grant Help Create a Healthy School Environment!

10/6/2017

 
Miner Elementary School is a proud recipient of a $1000 Parents for Healthy Kids grant made possible through Action for Healthy Kids® (AFHK) and funding from ALDI. The grant will help expand student access to physical activity and healthy foods in school, improve knowledge and behaviors around physical activity and healthy eating, and provide funding and support to parent groups as they work to engage parents and families in these efforts both at school and at home.  

Miner will use its grant to fund:
  • The purchase of new and replacement equipment for Physical Education classes
  • The establishment of a new partnership with Playworks to improve the health and well-being of Miner’s students by increasing opportunities for physical activity and safe, meaningful play
  • The school’s involvement in Every Kid Healthy Week in April, 2018

Special thanks go out to Lindsey Jones-Renaud, Chair of the PTO's Fundraising & Grants Committee, for leading development of Miner's grant application!
​
Miner is one of 150 schools receiving an ALDI-funded grant along with technical support to implement its grant utilizing AFHK’s Game On program in the 2017-2018 school year.
