"Sun Smart U" Middle School Education Program
The Skin Cancer Foundation has developed the FREE Sun Smart U program to help middle school teachers educate their Health and Physical Education students about the importance of skin cancer prevention and give them the tools they need to protect themselves from the sun. The program aims to make sun safety behaviors like wearing sun-protective clothing and sunscreen automatic and easy for students. The curriculum also emphasizes the importance of early detection with information about the warning signs of skin cancer.
Teachers may select one of three formats for their classrooms: a SMART or Promethean interactive whiteboard, or PowerPoint. Through classroom instruction and activities, these lessons are a fun and easy way to teach students lifelong sun safety habits.

Stackademics was developed as a body/brain energizer for the classroom.

Stackademics combines the fun and movement of sport stacking with activities tailored specifically to the classroom and core subject areas. PE teachers who have complete sport stacking programs in the gym now have a concrete way to promote fitness and cross-lateral movement in the classroom to help boost brain power throughout their schools. For Stackademics! information go to Speed Stacks or call 1-877-GOT-CUPS (468-2877).
