The Empowered Wellness Movement is a non-profit organization with programs intended to empower children to make healthier choices when the choice is up to the them. We are frequently invited to conduct interactive presentations for elementary and high school classes that cut through conflicting mainstream nutrition information and educate on the impact of these choices. Our messages are customized to be age appropriate and designed to support and integrate existing health programs promoted by the school in order to ensure consistency in curriculum.
We also deliver presentations to parents in PTA type meetings or smaller group sessions. We've received very positive feedback from school administrators, teachers, students, and parents, including:
FCPS Teacher: ..."It was a great presentation and the kids really enjoyed it...I think the main messages you got across were perfect for the age group."
FCPS Teacher: "The presentation was great! The kids seemed like they really enjoyed it and understood the content...we'd love for you to come in again and reinforce those clues..."
FCPS Parent: "...(my son) was telling me about the class and he really listened to what was said. It has actually helped me to explain to him why I serve the foods that we eat - farm or factory."
Preschool Director: "I thought that the discussions were very interesting and everyone came away with a little more knowledge."
Parent: "It was a huge success! Everyone I have spoken to today really enjoyed themselves and I know it has gotten me thinking about what I feed myself and my family. Thank you!"
