American Heart Association: What: American Heart Association (AHA) Julie Kaufmann and American Dietetics Association interns in collaboration withSFUSD Physical Education Instructors Verna Castro-Burwell and Tatiana Kanakis will provide a series of twice a month (Monday) cooking classes at Phillip Burton HS from 5:00 - 6:15 pm on Monday, January 12, Monday, January 26, Monday, February 9 culminating with a family engagement meal night with parents and families on Monday, February 23rd from 4:15-6:15 at the Burton HS cafeteria.  Prior to the cooking class students will engage in various fun fitness activities from 4-5pm on Monday.     
     The purpose of this cooking class is teach students how to prepare easy, affordable, tasty meals using AHA recipes. These recipes will help keep families fit, lower the risk of heart disease and stroke for lovesd ones and help balance student's food budget. Our commitment is for students to continue to eat more meals at home to improve diet and heart health. 
     Why?  The obsesity crisis in America has no single cause. Our plan is one step in addressing our goal. By teaming up with AHA for nutrition and SFUSD PE for fitness, we are able to provide our students with tools for living healthy by increasing physical activity with fun and engaging activity and foods that contribute to optimal health.

     Students will be provided with a fitpack that includes a backpack, t-shirt, pedometer, exercise band, cutting board, measuring cup, measuring spoon, silicone spatula, fitness and nutrition logs provided by SFUSD PE. Other free resources to provided by AHA: measuring spoon, instructional materials and resources. American Heart Association Documents

Y Bikes: The Y Bike PE program teaches youth safe bicycle riding and street skills in their regular school physical education class. This is achieved through a services of bike handling drills and the simulation of traffic situations of progressive difficulty, culminating in a group neighborhood ride. The ultimate goal is to teach students how to ride safely through their city and to train PE teachers how to implement the curriculum (which meets CA State PE Standards) on their own. 
      The PE program is a safe, fun way for students to learn basic safety, handling, and communication skills, while giving them the confidence they need to successfully navigate basic traffic situations. Students do not need to have ever ridden a bike before starting the program.
