Fit4Kids works to improve the health and wellness of children by increasing physical activity and promoting healthy eating.

The organization is focused on improving children’s health and wellness in RVA. We believe that active, well-nourished kids learn more in school and have greater self-esteem. Physical activity and mindful eating is about more than avoiding disease - it's about improving children's quality of life.

Why did Grace want to join the Fit4Kids Junior Coach program, where she would have the opportunity to coach middle school Game On, Girl! - Fit4Kids participants during our four-day Summer Summit experience? “I love motivating girls to be there”.

Grace and 13 other former Game On, Girl! Participants became our first cohort of the high school Junior Coach program last year, an extension of the middle school Game On, Girl program! The girls met monthly to participate in trainings related to problem solving, goal-setting, public speaking, leadership, and more, to prepare them to serve as Junior Coaches and lead younger Game On, Girl! participants through more than 20 workshops focused on physical activity, nutrition, and leadership development.

Through this experience, Grace was able to not only develop leadership skills and build confidence, but she was able to serve as a mentor and role model to younger Summer Summit participants.

We are applesolutely having fun in the Learning Gardens this fall! Since September, students have been planting fall crops like lettuce and radishes and learning about soil, plant parts, decomposers, and bugs. They have also been sampling delicious fruit and veggie dishes featuring the same produce they are growing, inspiring healthy habits along the way!

In honor of and this month, students have tried and loved Kale Apple Salad and Pumpkin Hummus with carrots, made possible through our partnership with Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield Foundation!

What other dishes have students sampled so far? Beyond just these two tastings, students across our Learning Gardens and after-school Garden Clubs have also tried Pizza Salad, Cucumber Slices and Grapes, Pico de Gallo with Tortilla Chips, Fall Persimmon Salad, and more.
