6 Earn Bronze Awards in HealthierUS School Challenge

Six Canyons elementary schools are raising the bar for health and nutrition, according to the United States Department of Agriculture. Altara, Oakdale, Brookwood, Peruvian Park, Draper and Sprucewood elementaries have received the HealthierUS School Challenge bronze-level award from the USDA. The schools received the award for their efforts to improve the quality of foods served, provide students with more nutritious food choices, and enhance their physical activity program. 

In recognition of their achievement, the schools will receive a HUSSC award plaque, banner to display, and $500.

To date, 20 of 29 CSD elementary schools have earned at least a bronze-level certification in the HealthierUS School Challenge. The award is “a great accomplishment and shows the school is committed to helping their students have a healthier lifestyle,” Dana Adams, senior specialist with the Utah State Office of Education, wrote in a congratulatory letter.

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!
