Let’s Get Moving Lawton Summer Curriculum

Hello Lawton Teachers & Coaches!

We truly appreciate your contribution to improving the health of the children and families in your community by participating in the Let’s Get Moving (LGM) program. We are the Oklahoma Nutrition Information and Education (ONIE) Project based out of the Hudson College of Public Health at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center. Since 2020, we have hosted an annual FREE family fun walk/run 2k event at the Lawton Farmers Market. This year we will be hosting the event on Saturday, July 12. Our purpose is to get families moving together and make physical activity and nutrition a family affair. This event is absolutely FREE to participants, so all families have the opportunity to participate.

Through a collaboration with Comanche County Health Department, we are expanding this initiative so that even more families are impacted. As a teacher of these lessons you will have the opportunity to help encourage your participants to begin the training process for the Let’s Get Moving 2k by implementing the 6-week LGM curriculum. We will supplement this with weekly fliers sent to families in print and digital format and/or other ideas you may have to help recruit family participation. Once a family has registered to participate in the event they will be enrolled in a texting program to reinforce the weekly priorities from the lesson plans and provide necessary logistics for the event. All the supplemental materials for LGM have been developed to encourage healthy living and we hope participating families will find enjoyable ways to be active together. We look forward to working with you and showing Lawton families that their community supports them in making healthy choices!
