Campus Staff message: please forward the message below to faculty and staff on your
campus this six weeks.
According to the CATCH Coordination Kit, we are now in the second theme of the year:
Theme II – Creating Healthy Change to promote healthy eating and physical activity
campus-wide.
Attached you will find the following CATCH tools/resources for the second six weeks:
 Theme II Star Tasks for classroom teachers, PE teachers, administrators,
specialized & support staff, child nutrition services and parent leaders;
 Activity Breaks; and
 The CATCH Parent Newsletter (English on one side & Spanish on the other).
Creating a healthy environment and setting new expectations for the health of children is
an urgent priority. Change doesn’t happen overnight, but it can happen if the entire
campus makes a commitment to CATCH. Please implement your star tasks for this six
weeks and consider taking the My Health Booster Challenge, located after your star tasks
on pg.6.
NOTE: All CATCH materials and resources can be found in your component folder and on the
shared drive at (insert link).
