Principal Dudley Paul at Essex Public School is pleased at the renewed interest in fitness his students have acquired. His school is the latest to participate in the Living School Initiative. To celebrate the Live it Up Challenge, the students exercised simultaneously with hundreds of children across Toronto for 20 minutes of aerobic dancing, followed by a healthy fruit snack. Since then, the school has begun to work on the nutritional habits of its students. The school is also a part of Act Now, a program aimed at highlighting nutrition.
