Carman-Ainsworth Middle School successfully completed its first year of the Commit to Fit! Project Healthy Schools program, which began in August 2013. Approximately 389 seventh grade students received Commit to Fit! Project Healthy Schools health and wellness education during physical education (PE) class, which was based on the five Commit to Fit! Project Healthy Schools goals:

• Eat more fruits and vegetables
• Make better beverage choices
• Be active every day
• Eat less fast and fatty foods
• Spend less time in front of a screen

The ten core lessons were taught to all seventh grade P.E. classes by Ms. Masi and Ms. Cowen, the seventh grade P.E. teachers, with support from the Greater Flint Health Coalition and the University of Michigan’s project Healthy Schools consultant. To reach all seventh grade students, the lessons were conducted in both the fall and spring marking periods.
