In Phoenix, Arizona, an entire school district is teaching child care providers why it's important to make healthy nutrition choices for children and how they can provide fun ways for children to be more physically active.

Learn how an elementary school in Anchorage, Alaska kicked off its We Can! programming and watch their inspiring video.

Look out for a group of revised tip and fact sheets that accompany the We Can!'s Parent Program. They are now easier for parents to read and understand, especially those for whom English is a second language and/or those with lower reading levels. These can be great resources for your sessions with parents.

As the leaves change colors and temperatures drop, share these We Can! tips with parents in your community to help children stay physically active and improve food choices this fall!

Tip #1: Buy in-season fruits and vegetables - seasonal produce tends to be more affordable. Get your daily servings by trying apples, broccoli, cauliflower, pears, pumpkin, squash, and sweet potatoes! But no matter what the form - fresh, frozen, or canned in juice - all varieties of fruits and vegetables count toward your daily recommendation.

Tip #2: Remember the importance of energy out! Move more this fall with your children - include them in yard work (raking, weeding, planting) or take family walks together at your local community center or in your local park to enjoy the crisp air.

Tip #3: Develop a set of regular activities for you and your family that are always available - regardless of the weather outside. Make a list that includes mall walking, stair climbing, and stretching and strengthening movements. Brainstorm other ideas with your kids - such as a dance party on a rainy day!
