Summary: Approve application and continued funding of the Nutrition Education Obesity Prevention Program (NEOP) grant through June 30, 2019 with Contra Costa Health Services to provide nutrition education and physical activity promotion in the Mt. Diablo CARES After School Programs.
The Nutrition and Physical Promotion Project grant will provide funding to integrate and increase nutrition education and physical activity in the Mt. Diablo CARES After School Program Kindergarten through Twelfth grade. Nine CARES After School Programs (Cambridge, Meadow Homes, Sun Terrace, El Monte, Shore Acres, and Delta View Elementary, and Riverview, Oak Grove, and El Dorado Middle) will participate in the Nutrition and Physical Promotion Project of Contra Costa Health Services.
Mt. Diablo CARES After School Program will continue to provide comprehensive nutrition education (i.e. cooking, nutrition, Harvest of the Month, Rethink Your Drink); and increased access to physical activity (i.e. participation in Coordinated Approach to Child Health (CATCH) and SPARK curriculum as well as state approved nutrition materials). This hands on nutrition and physical activity education will promote positive nutritional lifestyle changes for students, parents and community and serve as a foundation for implementing policy, system and environmental (PSE) changes (i.e. School Wellness policy and Smarter Lunchroom Movements). CARES will host community events to promote onsite gardens and nutrition education.
Grant funds will pay for a portion of after school staff, evaluation, supplies and materials. Through this grant, participating after school students receive at a minimum seven hours of nutrition education and physical activity promotion each week. The NEOP grant will continue to provide valuable and essential resources to district student to support, develop and maintain a healthy lifestyle. Mt. Diablo CARES is requesting $75,000 to implement the Nutrition and Physical Promotion Project.
