Get Moving for Beef Month

October is beef month in Alabama and we want you to get involved! Teachers and classes are challenged to participate in the Alabama Obesity Task Force’s Get Moving Alabama campaign to make healthy choices in October and learn how beef can easily fit into these choices.  Family and Consumer Science classes are challenged to submit a video and electronic portfolio of how their class or school is going to get moving in October to promote a healthy lifestyle through nutrition plans, physical activity and fun!
