New School Materials
The President’s Challenge educator materials for the 2007-08 school year have a new look! The materials were redesigned using characters and colors based on feedback from school-aged children. All of the program information is available on the educator’s section of the President's Challenge website. The yearly President’s Challenge brochure can be found on the “downloads” section.
The American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists (AACE) Power of Prevention through Nutrition and Fitness (POPTFN) Program
The President’s Challenge is pleased to partner with AACE on its Power of Prevention (POP) program. One arm of the program, POPTFN, targets children through a school-based curriculum developed by AACE. In many cases, AACE members visit a classroom to launch the program and to speak to students on the importance of physical activity and good nutrition. One component of the curriculum challenges students to complete the 6-week Presidential Active Lifestyle Award (PALA). Get more information on the POPTFN initiative and review the materials AACE has available.
