SJE Hosts First CATCH Night

San Jacinto Elementary (SJE) hosted their first CATCH (Coordinated Approach to Child Health) Family Fun Night on Thursday, September 27, 2018. CATCH is an evidence-based K-8 program that incorporates multiple aspects of the school environment including the classroom, school food services, physical education, families, and the broader school community.

 

SJE staff made the Family Fun Night possible with their overwhelming support of 26 volunteers plus hours of preparation. San Jacinto’s American Ninja Warrior-themed CATCH Night engaged students in a giant obstacle course in the gym and had nutrition games in the cafeteria.

 

Aramark, the district’s food service provider, showed students and their families how to make healthy eating fun for the whole family. Overall, the family-friendly event was a big success with over 100 families in attendance. The CATCH Program in GCCISD is supported by Be Well™ Baytown, an initiative of The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center sponsored by ExxonMobil.
