READY, SET, GO! WELCOME TO THE HEALTHY TOGETHER ELEMENTARY SCHOOL TOOLKIT! What’s Healthy Together? Led by Atrium Health through its Levine Children’s Hospital together with community partners, the Healthy Together initiative is aimed at tackling childhood obesity by promoting healthy behaviors. Through engagement, education, collaboration and policy change, we’re building a culture of healthy living in our community – and raising a healthier generation of kids. Healthy Together encourages kids and families to join the 5-2-1-0 League by following the 5-2-1-0 behaviors: • 5 - Eat at least five servings of fruits and vegetables every day • 2 - Limit recreational screen time to fewer than two hours per day • 1 - Be physically active for at least one hour per day • 0 - Avoid sugary drinks, and instead aim for water or low-fat milk What’s Inside Within this toolkit, you’ll find handouts, tools and resources that will guide and support you in bringing the messages and activities of Healthy Together to your school. Take time to get familiar with the contents of the toolkit and keep it handy. And don’t pass up the chance to achieve special 5-2-1-0 recognition for your school! Thank you for working with us to improve the health of our community’s kids. Let’s get started! Questions? Contact the Healthy Together program manager:
