April, 23 2009
Students at The Elms Junior Middle School know about Type 2 diabetes.
The pupils won a Canada-wide educational challenge for showcasing their diabetes prevention knowledge gained through an in-class program.
Students won one of 35 Everyone Jump celebration concerts, which is touring the country.
Everyone Jump is a partnership between the Ontario Physical and Health Education Association and Novo Nordisk Canada Inc. to teach Grade 5 students about preventing Type 2 diabetes through regular physical activity and healthy eating.
