"Make Healthy Changes This November: PTA Healthy Lifestyles Month

Your family may have just settled into the groove of the school year, but consider whether some healthy changes could make that groove even better. Take a second look at what you put in your child's lunch box every day; could some easy substitutions make a more nutritious meal? How about your family's level of physical activity? Could you make time for a family walk after dinner, or a game of soccer in the park this weekend?

November is PTA Healthy Lifestyles Month, and we encourage you to take a look at the resources at PTA.org to find some simple ways to be healthier each day."
