November is PTA's Healthy Lifestyles Month Encouraging Health-Related Events and Activities
The PTA national organization developed a campaign to celebrate Healthy Lifestyles Month during the month of November in support of their year-round Health and Wellness programming. They are challenging each of their 25,000 units to plan a health-related event or activity during November. The overall goal of the proposed project is to increase grassroots participation in national program initiatives and to further awareness of the problems facing students, parents and educators in the arena of health and wellness today.
More than 5 million members of the PTA national organization are directly served by their programs. The effectiveness of the project will be evaluated by the effectiveness of the grassroots events planned during the month of November as well as the usage of the PTA's nationally distributed Healthy Lifestyles Leader's and Parent's Guides. The proposed program is aligned with the following PTA national organization priorities:
- Organize and optimize nationwide assets in health and wellness programming for improved academic results
- Develop, expand, and deliver a healthy lifestyles literacy initiative
- Use health and wellness awareness efforts to improve student achievement
