WAKEUP CALL
EMPOWERING MESSAGES FOR MORNING ANNOUNCEMENTS
An Easy Way to Fulfill Nutrition Education Goals as Mandated
by Local Wellness Policies
The New York Coalition for Healthy School Food is very excited to introduce Wellness Wakeup Call - our signature nutrition education program that is easy to use. The program includes 30 months of nutrition education messages with a different topic each month. We have finished writing the program (thanks for the patience of those who have waited) and are working on formatting the documents. We will have the entire 30 month program in two PDF files, one for K-5 grade, and another for 6-12. No more downloading separate files! Check back soon - we hope to have the new format up by September 30th at the latest.

Sample Messages Include:
Good morning! This is your Wellness Wakeup Call. When we eat healthy foods, our bodies stay healthy, we feel good, and we do our best thinking. Enjoy your day, the healthy way! (Month #1, Food for Health and Fruits)
Good morning! This is your Wellness Wakeup Call. Try to find foods that don’t have ingredients like high fructose corn syrup, partially hydrogenated fats, artificial colors, and artificial flavors. Enjoy your day, the healthy way! (Month #6, Label Reading)
Sample Messages Include:
Good morning! This is your Wellness Wakeup Call. When it comes to food, it’s important to think for yourself, and not believe what the food companies tell you. They just want to sell their products and make money. They are usually very successful in duping/brainwashing (use whatever phrase would work best for your students) most of America’s youth, and see you as the “bull’s-eye” of the target. You can be different. Thinking for yourself means that they did not succeed in hoodwinking you. Enjoy your day, the healthy way! (Month #9, Media Literacy and Food Politics)
Good morning! This is your Wellness Wakeup Call. It’s important to remember that dairy products are not the only sources of calcium. Many plant-foods contain calcium, and the calcium from some plant foods is easier to absorb than the calcium in milk. Enjoy your day, the healthy way! (Month #10, Calcium and Bone Health)
