Springwood Elementary was the grand prize winner but five other schools also took home $1000 for inspiring contributions to healthy living. The program which was created in 2016 has seen grade schools and students work together to make these programs a success with each school bringing something different to the table.
“They did a great job with their kids, and each school does something a little bit different. We had some schools do color walks, other schools focus on reading and then this school of course, focused on healthy activity and healthy lifestyle. I think it’s such a great program because it promotes healthy lifestyle and it promotes healthy choices. And that’s something that we’re really working towards with our youth. But then beyond that, the financial benefit of the program allows schools to do some really cool stuff that promotes that healthy lifestyle and healthy activities.” said Cassie.
The kids gathered in Springwood Elementary gym to celebrate the win together and share suggestions on how to spend there well earned grant. The ideas ranged from slip and slides to swimming pools with the highest cheers coming for a repaving of the blacktop beside the school with basketball nets. The Healthy Kids program is a partnership between Spirit of the North Healthcare Foundation, the Prince George Cougars, and Northern Health.
