Santa Clara’s SWAT

Examples- Apple Crunch, Go for the Greens promotions with Arizona Nutrition Network and Fuel Up To Play 60 Kick off events and activities such as our Healthy Hunt!

Activities The SWAT (Student Wellness Advocacy Team) club

came up with many ideas which were presented to the SHAC (School health Advisory Counsel). Both groups agreed to commit to and support these activities:

1)Door Competition 2)Fruit and Vegetable Challenge 3)Students and Staff may wear Red or Green t-shirts. 4)Teachers would do activity breaks in class to get

students active. 5)SWAT would run outside lunch recess activities. 6)Cafeteria would serve applesauce and a variety of
