YEAR TWO
1. Worked with the school district to implement health education into the high school curriculum. The
HOPE course (Health Opportunities through Physical Education) was implemented in all high schools.
This course is a graduation requirement for all students graduating in 2017 and beyond.
2. Year two also saw the district-wide implementation of Fitnessgram; the results of the assessment
provided two parent reports that were sent home.
3. This strategy also researched and selected the 5210 campaign for use in aligning physical fitness and
nutrition messaging among partners. The campaign was set to launch in 2015.
YEAR THREE
4. The 5210 Campaign was promoted heavily
throughout the district by a multitude of
agencies including WIC, local pediatricians,
and the school district. The team
implemented a timeline which included
a presentation at the annual Building a
Healthier Polk 2015 Kick-off, the Polk County
School Board School Health Advisory Council,
and the Polk County School Board Head Start
Parent Advisory Committee. See Addendum A
for talking points.
5. The Polk County School Board created a
proclamation to support 5-2-1-0 education
throughout schools. Strategy members
assisted with the implementation of
8
messaging in cafeterias, education in health
and physical education curriculum, and
outreach to parents.
6. Drafted a 5-2-1-0 toolkit as a resource to
support teachers, after-school care providers,
and community educators.
7. Organized and implemented the 5-2-1-0
Healthy Habits Poster contest for schoolbased and community summer camp
participants. The posters were created by
school-aged children throughout the district
to disseminate the 5210 message.
8. Partnered with Legoland Florida to host
the 5-2-1-0 Heathy Habits walk to recognize
poster contest winners.
