Heart Healthy Field Day

Sponsored by Banner’s Chick-fil-A Leader Academy

The Chick-fil-A Leader Academy is a national, high school, servant-leadership development
program that is focused on impact through action. Students in the Academy participate in

monthly learning labs that culminate in a schoolwide impact project. On May 9, lower school
students were invited to a fun field day that celebrated heart-healthy awareness month.
Activites were designed to teach children how to eat well and exercise to keep their hearts

healthy physically while also focusing on character development and the fruit of the Spirit.
During the day, different Banner clubs/groups planned and executed activities for the lower
school students. The Unashamed Club taught about the fruit of the Spirit using colored beads
as they made bookmarks. The Key Club provided fruit kabobs to encourage healthful eating.
The drama team held a puppet show and helped students make apple and carrot character

puppets. The art class colored pictures of fruits and vegetables and the praise team sang
songs about the fruit of the Spirit. The Forge Team led sack and 3-legged races and held a
jump rope contest to encourage the importance of exercise. Sergeant Lutz, from the U.S.

Army, brought an inflatable basketball hoop and cornhole games for the kids to play after
visiting the other stations. It took a great deal of planning to pull off the successful event and
a good time was had by all.
