Reset and Refresh Your Healthy Classroom Resources in 2023

Get new TSET materials for your students -- FREE!

Any day of the year is a great time to eat better, move more, drink water, get better sleep and live tobacco free. However, many people look at January 1 like a reset button when it comes to building healthy habits … and it can be the same for your students. Shape Your Future has new resources to help you teach and model healthy behaviors in your classroom, and they’re free to download or order for delivery straight to your school.

The new Shape Your Future State Animals Super Moves Poster helps teach kids fun facts about Oklahoma’s special species while also inspiring them to get in their recommended minutes of movement each day (60 minutes). Plus, the sky’s the limit for our kids when they learn the value of a healthy lifestyle. Encourage them to “Peach for the Stars“ with another new classroom poster that’s out-of-this-world cute!

You can grab additional Pre-K - 5^th grade posters, worksheets, activities and healthy information by visiting the free TSET ordering website and by checking out the Teachers section at ShapeYourFutureOK.com. While you’re there, be sure to sign up for the Shape Your Future bimonthly Teacher Email, which delivers healthy classroom tips, tasty breakroom recipes and snack ideas for kids, fun physical activities and seasonal content curated especially for educators.

Have older students? Don’t miss the free education materials from the TSET Healthy Youth Initiative! Swap Up, a youth nutrition campaign, helps teens 13-18 understand the value of making healthier food choices and gives them easy ways to incorporate healthy changes into their everyday lives. Campaigns and programs such as Down and Dirty, Behind the Haze, Quit the Hit and My Life, My Quit help educate teens on the harms of tobacco and vape and provide help to those seeking to break free from nicotine addiction. You can order free healthy youth flyers, posters and brochures at TSETHealthyYouth.com/order.

Here’s to a happy, healthy 2023!
