The back-to-school season can mean many things for families \u2013 new schedules, shopping for school supplies, after school practice, helping with homework \u2013 but getting back into a routine doesn\u2019t have to be stressful or come at the expense of family meals and exercise. Instead, look at this month as the perfect time to set new exercise and nutrition goals as a family. Sometimes the activities that minimize back to school anxiety are overlooked when families are adjusting to a new routine.<\/p>\n

Together Counts is working with the Healthy Weight Commitment Foundation and Discovery Education to make it easy for families to manage their health goals during this busy time through Energy Balance 101 (www.energybalance101.com<\/a>). This website offers information for families, students and teachers to help your child develop good nutrition and physical action plans at school and home.<\/p>\n

With September marking the official start of school, Energy Balance 101 is kicking off two major programs \u00a0that schools are invited to enter. Each offers a unique challenge to help educate our young ones on the importance of maintaining good health and nutrition while at school and home:<\/p>\n
