Kidz Bite Back

*Kidz Bite Back is a great program that helps kids understand the dangers of obesity. It educates kids about the importance of balancing junk food and electronics with healthy food and being physically active.

*We advocates at Curtis Fundamental Elementary would like to see most students trying to balance their use of electronics as well as the amount of fast food they eat. We would also love to see our cafeteria serve healthy but yummy food only.

*Most of the students at Curtis Fundamental have been biting back!! Kids have been coming up to us and telling us that they have been telling the fast food resteraunts that their food is unhealthy! We have even seen kids bring healthier lunches to school. Our P.E. teacher stresses the importance of eating healthy and being physically active each day and introduces a healthy tidbit each Monday. She also sends a Nutrition Bag home each week which contains a physical activity, a healthy tidbit, and a healthy recipe to try!

We also have a Fitness Jar for the students and faculty in order to promote physical activity outside of school!

Dear Student Supply Company,
Your company supplies our school with items for our school store. I noticed that you sell erasers that are junk food erasers. I am part of a group called Kidz Bite Back and it is my job to teach the kids at Curtis Fundamental Elementary school (my school) the importance of eating healthy, being active, and being careful to not believe EVERYTHING the fast food restaurants tell us!! I was just wondering if you could change your junk food erasers to healthy food erasers!! Instead of french fries, burgers, hot dogs, and soda can you change them to fruit and vegetable erasers like strawberries, bananas, carrots, and broccoli? These are good for kids to stay healthy and would help the Kidz Bite Back kids (like me) show the Curtis kids that it is cool to eat and be healthy!!

Sincerely, Sam
