Healthy Schuylkill Summer 2021: The Great Outdoors
Healthy Schuylkill Summer is a program begun in 2012 that partners with the Schuylkill County public libraries’ summer reading programs to bring healthy messages on exercise and nutrition to children of the county. In 2015 we served 13 libraries and reached almost 500 children and their families.
Childhood obesity is a serious issue in Schuylkill County and the United States. By providing brief, fun and interactive messages and experiences for the children in the reading programs, we can reach these children and families in a great setting over the summer.
Librarians have embraced the program:
“This program is helpful to families by reminding them to keep on the right track of eating right, exercising and limiting sugar in order to stay a fit, happy and healthy family.”
“The lesson plans were wonderful and the children were excited to tell me what they had done outside each week. The library benefits from giving the children a positive and enjoyable experience that hopefully they will associate with libraries in the future. To combine the Healthy Schuylkill summer and the Library Reading Program is an excellent way to reach children.”
“Learning about healthy lifestyles cannot be overemphasized among children and adults; you provide resources for both parents and children to learn about how to implement healthy foods and activities into everyday living to accomplish better health. Thanks!”
