4 CSD Elementary Schools Lauded By USDA

Awards will be presented in January to four Canyons elementary schools receiving special commendations from the U.S. Department of Agriculture for improving school lunch and physical activity on their campuses.
 
HealthierUS School Challenge (HUSSC) Bronze-level designation has been approved for Brookwood, Granite, Oakdale and Peruvian Park elementary schools. The designation comes with a banner, plaque, $500 for the school, and inclusion on the HUSSC’s Team Nutrition Web site.
 
The HealthierUS School Challenge is a voluntary national certification for schools participating in the National School Lunch Program. It supports first lady Michelle Obama’s “Let’s Move “campaign by recognizing schools that are creating healthier school campuses through the promotion of good nutrition and physical activity.
 
The initiative focuses on three main areas. Schools must show they have improved the quality of all food available on the campus by meeting the 2005 dietary guidelines for Americans and the Institute of Medicine’s recommendations. In addition to menu choices, the schools must also provide students with nutrition education and the opportunity to participate in physical activity during the school day.

See Oakdale Principal Alice Peck talk to KUTV’s Heidi Hatch and Cristina Flores about the award.

Lucie Chamberlain

Alta View Elementary

If a movie about super teachers were ever made, Lucie Chamberlain would be a prime candidate for a leading role. Fortunately for her kindergarten students at Alta View Elementary, she already thrives in a supporting role for them. Parents thank her for being a “super teacher.” She is also described as an “amazing colleague.” Whether students need help in the classroom or from home while sick, Lucie goes above and beyond to help them learn, overcome fears, and feel important and cared for. Lucie is the reason a number of kids went from hating school to loving it, according to parents. The way she exudes patience, sweetness, positive energy, and love for her students with special needs melts is appreciated and admired. One parent noted: “Both my kids wish she could be their teacher forever.” Another added:  “She treats every student like their learning and their feelings are her priority.” Super teacher, indeed!
