Teamwork Makes Tuba City Just Move It Colorfulby Brooke Holiday, TCRHCC Health Promotion Specialist
August 2014
The past few months the Tuba City Health Promotion Program worked with local organizations, communi-ties and families to deliver the 2014 Just Move It(JMI) Series. Families such as the Dugi’s, Granger’s, and Tsingine’s, each hosted a JMI event. They took responsibility for design-ing the course & coordinating safety monitors with their family members. Its with their contribution, the community is making steps in the right direction by taking ownership over their own health. In addition, local organizations such as the Navajo Nation (NN) Health Education Program, NN Community Health Representatives, John Hopkins University, Tuba City Regional Health Care Corporation (TCRHCC) Diabetes Prevention Program, NN Department of Behav-ioral Health, Hopi Wellness Center, Hopi Community Health Respresen-tatives, Hopi Special Diabetes Program, NN Department of Correc-tions, Wings of America, Tonalea Day School, Page Unified School District, Kinaali Dorm, and Tuba City High School provided assis-tance to this year’s JMI series. Highlights also included themes such as: Super Heros, 80’s, College
Apparel, Hawaii, Crazy Socks, Neon, Clan Shirt, Jersey, Rock & Roll, and Color Run. It was a first for the JMI series, but proved to be successful, as participants dressed the part and at times even got their pets dressed for the occasion.

Breakfast Power!by Brooke Holiday, TCRHCC Health Promotion Specialist
Summer has quickly come and gone. Local schools in and around Tuba City are working hard to keep up with the latest school nutrition standards and offering free/reduced breakfast and lunch programs for all students. School nutrition programs are partnering up with Arizona Department of Educa-tion and Arizona Department of Health Services to update and implement Local School Well-ness Policies to improve the over-all health of students. They play an important role and, ultimately support healthy students in healthy environments will be ready to learn. Why is breakfast so import-ant? According to the Journal of School Health, Journal of the American Dietetic Association and Nutrition Research Review
are credible sources to support that a healthy breakfast is associ-ated with improved cognitive function, especially memory. Helping to support the connec-tion between a sound nutritious breakfast (meal) and academics. So, what can parents do at home? If your child is not already eating breakfast at school. Provide breakfast for your child before the go to school. A simple whole-oat oatmeal with a few bananas and walnuts can go a long way. Other ideas are a slice of whole wheat toast with peanut butter sprinkled with raisins and a glass of low-fat milk are quick, easy-powered breakfast or snack ideas. You can always add some nuts, dried or fresh fruit/vegeta-bles to add more taste and eye appeal. For more ideas for break-fast or after-school snacks follow up with your school nutrition director or look up great ideas on w w w.whatscooking. fns .us -da.gov/ .

Family Fitnessby Brooke Holiday, TCRHCC Health Promotion Specialist
The summer was filled with many families being physical active. A goal this fall would be to plan times throughout the week to be active as a family. Take 10 to 3o minutes together to catch up with kids on how their day went on a nice stroll down the neighborhood or to the local park. Many of our families go to the local high school football field to get their walking or running in. Kids play freely in the middle of the field where mom or dad can keep on eye on them. You also see the occasional frisbee and volleyball to keep the kids playing. Other ideas include a family hike on week-ends. Tuba City is in the middle of great hiking trails in Flagstaff, Sedona, Page, Monument Valley and Grand Canyon. Little towns throughout the reservation host weekend 5Ks and cost are minimal. Being active with the family is fun! Trans-form your birthday celebrations, family reunions and potluck dinners to a new level, but adding fun adventure games for the whole family. Kids today are learning how to play physical activity games that require no equip-ment at all and are fun for adults too. Add a egg toss, watermelon crawl or relay race to keep
everyone moving. Family fitness is fun! Every-one will have a great time and will ask for more. Keep these great ideas for your next family gath-ering. For more information on ways to be physical active with your family contact the Tuba City Health Promotion Program at (928)283-1420.
