Attention High School Students!
Win cash for you and your school
"Produce It!" is an education initiative from Time Warner Cable that encourages high school students (grades 9-12) to develop a television public service announcement (PSA) with a message on the importance of healthy nutrition and physical activity. The PSA should show how eating better and being active can help kids do better in school and in life. A person can be healthy in many ways, especially by eating breakfast; consuming fruits, veggies, milk and water; and being active for an hour a day.
Be creative! Be imaginative! How does eating better make you feel? What are the benefits of being physically active? Why is it important to be healthy? What are the potential effects on a student who does not eat healthy food and exercise? These are some of the questions you might ask while developing your message. Feel free to connect with local health professionals to get support on developing your PSA, or visit www.EatBetterDoBetter.org for information and resources. Other websites on the subject are:
Ohio Action for Healthy Kids – www.ohioactionforhealthykids.org
