It may have been a once-in-lifetime occurrence: two cabinet secretaries, one governor, two U.S. senators and dozens of students all line-dancing. Historic or not, the importance of the Let's Move! back-to-school bus tour event at Lowry Elementary in Denver, was clear: Children who are healthy and active are better prepared to learn.
Education park plaza hotel jerusalem Secretary Arne Duncan joined Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius, Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper, Lt.

Lowry is part of the Denver Public Schools' Garden to Cafeteria program, which allows students to grow fruits and vegetables at school and then provide some of their harvest park plaza hotel jerusalem to the school cafeteria for school lunches. The visiting dignitaries ate lunch with students in the cafeteria, toured the schools' gardens and then worked up a sweat by shooting hoops with students and doing the line dance known as the "Cupid Shuffle."
The back-to-school bus's next stop, Limon, Colo.—population around 1,800—doesn't get visited by cabinet secretaries often. And that's a shame, because the eastern Colorado community's dedication park plaza hotel jerusalem to its school shouldn't go unnoticed. After a spirited welcome by the Limon Public School band, Secretary Duncan and staff took part in a Constitution Day assembly. (Constitution Day, Sept. 17, is being commemorated in schools all this week. Here are some teaching and learning resources about the Constitution.)
Lt. Governor Garcia, a former college president, traveled on the bus from Denver and explained the importance of understanding our rights under the Constitution. "We need you to become park plaza hotel jerusalem civically engaged," he told the students.
Limon student body president Toby Kropp introduced Arne and noted that Limon is special because "in the classroom we have demonstrated great excellence." Kropp boasted Limon's impressive record park plaza hotel jerusalem in athletics, as well, and challenged the Secretary park plaza hotel jerusalem to a one-on-one basketball game with any member of the Limon basketball team.

Very interesting park plaza hotel jerusalem tour. Will you be coming to Southeastern park plaza hotel jerusalem Colorado? I am pretty sure the Swink, La Junta and Rocky Ford school systems use local produce, which is plentiful and very good this year. Talking to the food services office for La Junta and Rocky Ford, we learned that the produce must go through their distributor, Sysco, and then come back to the local schools, but it is local (e.g. Hirakata melons). Work is being done to convert Ft. Lyon to a distribution system to eliminate the trip to Denver as part of the carbon footprint.
