Project Overview

 

Name of Project:

Party Like This, Not Like That: Healthy Ways at Woodmont

Duration: 4 weeks

 

Subject/Course: Physical Education & Health

Project Idea

Summary of the issue, challenge, investigation, scenario, or problem:

Issue/Challenge: Despite federal and state mandates and our theme of being Green, Lean, & Clean, some of the school community have been resistant to changes in their lifestyles. We want to maintain lifelong habits and positive lifestyles through nutrition and physical education.

 

 

 

Driving Question
