Nutrition Tips

As we continue with Shop-Rite in a collaborative effort to increase our overall fitness levels we have been provided a list of Nutrition Tips for the week. These tips offer great suggestions in getting the proper fuel into our body. Please stop by Shop-Rite and say hello to Carly Sopko who is coordinating the efforts to partner with our school.


Carly’s Nutrition Tip of the Week:
 1. Dip celery sticks into hummus for a juicy & crunchy snack. 
 2. Sprinkle chia seeds into your oatmeal for a healthy fiber boost. 
 3. Roll up a slice of deli turkey with Swiss cheese and a dab of mustard for a quick and tasty snack. 
 4. Try Beanitos as a healthy chip to put in your lunchbox. Beanitos are crunchy and have lots of fiber!
 5. Dip string cheese into a small cup of marinara sauce for a healthy snack that tastes like pizza
 6. Add milk and fruit to your cereal in the morning.
 7. Fill half of your dinner plate with vegetables for a healthy heart. 
 8. Try healthy chili for dinner; combine lean ground turkey, plenty of beans and tomato sauce.                 season with spices and herbs of your choice. 
 9. Greek yogurt is packed with protein. Try Chobani or ShopRite brand Greek yogurt. 
10. Brown rice, steamed broccoli & steamed shrimp make a healthy meal. 
11. Choose Triscuits as a healthy cracker to put in your lunchbox. 
12. Try cottage cheese, a calcium-rich snack.
13. Try a bagel with peanut butter for breakfast. 
14. Cut up fresh pineapple and strawberries for a sweet after-dinner treat. 
15. Add more vegetables to your sandwiches and pizza such as onions, tomatoes and greens.
16. Have 10 whole grain tortilla chips with salsa as a healthy snack.
17. Dip grapes in peanut butter for a healthy and fun snack. 
18. Choose water, 1% milk, soymilk or seltzer water as a healthy beverage for your lunchbox

Welcome Back!!!


We hope everyone has had a safe and happy summer. We are underway and look forward to an exciting and energetic school year. Students have received all necessary instruction for safety drills and the day to day routines for successful classes.
Students will be participating in fitness assessments in grades 4-8 physical education classes. This is the first of four assessments they will have during the school year. This will help students track their progress towards fitness goals.
Family Life classes are working towards understanding Safety, Wellness and Health.
If you have any questions regarding our classes please contact us by email:
Renee Hart rhart@oxfordcentral.org.
Rob Causton rcauston@oxfordcentral.org.
We are ready to have another great year in our PE/FL classes. Information will be distributed during our Back to School Nights, that will allow us greater access to communicate with parents. If you cannot attend Back to School Night, please drop us an email and we will give you all the necessary information.
