Healthy award: St. Aegidi promotes nutrition and exercise

A significant step for the local educational institution was recently recognized in St. Aegidi. The kindergarten and the school kitchen received an award at the Linzer Landhaus at the end of October, recognition for their committed participation in the “Healthy School Kitchen” and “Healthy Kindergarten” projects over a period of three years. These initiatives aim to promote the nutrition and well-being of young children.

Particularly in the school kitchen, the focus was on a varied selection of foods. Here not only is emphasis placed on vegetables, but vegetable oil is also used regularly and the consumption of fat and sugar is reduced to a minimum. The students benefit from balanced meals that support their physical health and also promote mental performance. This conscious diet plays an important role in everyday school life.

Movement and wellbeing initiatives

The “Healthy Kindergarten” has also introduced crucial measures. Horse and exercise games are firmly integrated into everyday life to encourage children to be active. The exercise room is used several times a week, which strengthens the children's motor skills. Fresh fruit and vegetables are also provided daily to ensure a constant supply of healthy snacks.

In order to create a space for peace and relaxation, retreats have been set up for the children. These areas offer little ones the opportunity to relax and recharge their batteries. Such measures are not only important for health, but they also help support children's emotional well-being. This award is not only a sign of the quality of the facilities, but also of the commitment of the staff and administration. More details on this topic can be found in a detailed report on www.tips.at.
