The classroom activities focus on healthy eating and regular physical activity. Teachers attend two curriculum training sessions each year and receive regular support from local Pathways staff during the year. The curriculum consists of two six-week segments each year for three years. Each week information is sent home to the parents about what has been discussed in the classroom. Twice during each six-week segment snacks which were eaten in the classroom are sent home for the family to try.
Examples are baby carrots with fat free salad dressing to use as a dip.
Throughout the year there are family nights at the school. These include a meal and demonstrations about healthy foods or how to increase the physical activities in the family. Students are very active during their physical education classes and have exercise breaks in the classroom. Pathways provides special equipment and activities for the physical education classes. Physical education teachers attend two training sessions each year and receive regular support from local Pathways staff.
