The physical education teacher at my son's school is fantastic at thinking of ways to make sure the students are moving every day.

At Christ the Teacher School, they no longer have vending machines at the school. They are offering healthier lunches and they are learning about the food pyramid as well.

Our school has changed its menu completely for breakfast and lunch. We serve much more fruit, use whole wheat breads etc.

Richardson Park has implemented several programs to increase physical fitness and healthy eating: Nintendo Wii, daily Brain Body exercise, Mileage Club, distribution of veggie/fruit 3x/week, Healthy Habit Backpack contest, Hula hoop contest, 5-2-1-almost none rap.

My child's school, Olive B Loss Elementary, installed a walking path adjacent to their playground area. Each class has assigned time on the walking path and students earn "foot" charms in various colors once they have walked a certain number of laps on the walking path.

My daughter attends Southern Elementary School. The cafeteria offers fresh fruits and salads. The kids can choose between milk and water. The children are limited to the amount of snacks they can buy. I personally think this is a good decision because it helps them make better choices when it comes to eating.

For Halloween, my son's school organized a trick-or-treat that focused on healthy items rather than candy.

My son recently used his birthday money to buy a laser tag set. The boys had so much fun running around the house trying to zap each other that we bought another set so that all of us can play together.

Jumping on the trampoline as soon as they get off the bus helps them relieve stress from school and get a physical jolt before sitting down to do their homework.

My girls eat well rounded, healthy meals and we really make the veggies as big of a part of their main meal as the proteins.

When it's rainy we will either play hide and go seek in the house or we will play a game like hallabaloo that keeps us jumping or twister that keeps us twisting.

While we all try to eat a well balanced diet, can't say my kids are really into their veggies, so I sneak them into their meals using "Deceptively Delicious" recipes from Jessica Seinfield.

My little niece Rylie HATES vegetables and fruit until she tried her Aunt Jo Jo's jumping Bean chili! I couldn't believe she ate every bite and asked me to make it again the following night!

My daughter loves PB&J. She is happy to eat it daily. So we made strawberry jelly from scratch this summer, enough to last the whole year! We look for the lower calorie, whole grain sandwhich bread. I check to make sure the artifical ingredients are minimial for all of our foods.

I have started packing lunch this year for my son who entered kindergarten in New Castle County.

My oldest son just started kindergarten. When he was in child care, I made sure he had a healthy lunch by packing a hot lunch in a thermos. This did not seem as feasible in the elementary school setting so I had to figure out a way to transition to sandwiches and cold lunches.

We started our routine on day one of school. We make it a rule to eat one fruit for breakfast and one for lunch. Each morning my 5 year old picks which she wants for each meal.
