Students at Hyde Elementary school celebrated their work towards a healthier lifestyle Tuesday morning.

The students have been involved in Mosaic Life Care’s 4th Grade Challenge, a partnership with the St. Joseph School District.

“Caregivers and community volunteers teach local 4th graders about the importance of proper nutrition, adequate exercise and healthy habits such as being smoke free,” said Mosiac Spokeswoman Tracey Clark.

According to Mosiac Statistics show that when children reach the elementary school age they begin to make choices and adopt habits that will last for their entire lives.

The 4th Grade Challenge began as a partnership with the district in 2008 and now runs in all St. Joseph public elementary school as well as some area schools like Savannah, Amazonia, and Helena.

Kids at Hyde celebrated their work Tuesday in keeping track of their health including nutrition, exercise, and wearing their seat belts.
