Attend this late morning session to learn how CATCH, SPARK, and KidTribe’s tried-and-true techniques help kids achieve caloric balance through physical activity.  This session is timed to dovetail with the School Networking Meeting below.  These proprietary organizations have been approved by USDA for one-time demonstrations at Network schools.  For questions, contact Jennifer.Abrams@cdph.ca.gov.

This meeting will provide an opportunity to meet your counterparts across the state who work with schools in order to share successful strategies and resources.  Prior to the meeting, Local Incentive Awardee (LIA) participants submit a two page-information sheet that includes their contact information and program highlights. Each participant will receive a packet containing this information. Some highlights of the meeting will include discussion and sharing of information about professional development for teachers as well as a presentation by the 2008 Nonnie Korten Award winning school.  Based on evaluations from the previous three years, LIAs find this meeting to be extremely valuable.
