WLMS Awarded Second Consecutive Healthy Howard Award!

I am excited to announce that for the second consecutive year, WLMS has been awarded an innovation award by the Howard County Health Department. This year’s award was for our Team Nutrition program, created by Ms. Middleton. This program received the prestigious Healthy Howard Innovation Award for Nutrition. Ms. Middleton’s program was recognized for providing a variety of lessons and activities to raise awareness about the negative impact of poor nutrition. For example, students did food comparisons to determine the healthiest food choices, used the Food Guide Pyramid to identify whether their daily diets were meeting national recommendations, and learned how to make healthy snacks including a smoothie. Congratulations to Ms. Middleton and all of the students who participated in this award-winning program!
