• Felicia Powell / Kindergarten Teacher

    East Elementary

    How long have you been with the district? 8 years with JC schools and 15 years total of teaching.

    Why is JC Healthy Schools important to you? I want to help kids make healthy choices that will hopefully form healthy habits that stick with them for life. I also want to incorporate more activities into the school day.

    What do you look forward to in the future of JC Healthy Schools? I look forward to teaching kids the importance of being active and eating healthy and implementing programs that will support this. 

    What do you enjoy most about being a JC Healthy Schools building champion? I love watching the kids enjoy the healthy activities we do in our school.

    What's your favorite healthy meal to make at home? I don't know if it is my favorite, but I do really like grilled chicken and grilled vegetables. We also eat a lot of salads at our house!!!!

    What's your favorite way to stay active?  We love to go on family walks and going swimming.

    What's the best piece of advice you've ever been given? Do your best. Don't be afraid to make mistakes. You will do better when you know how. And you often only find out when you get there.
