As the spring season unfolds, students in the Windham community are embracing a dynamic blend of athletics and nutrition through exciting new programs led by the local recreation department. From after-school sports clinics to refreshed cafeteria menus designed to fuel young athletes, Windham is setting a benchmark for holistic student development.
The Windham Recreation Department has recently launched a series of youth-centered initiatives that bridge physical activity and healthy eating habits. These programs aim not only to promote fitness but also to educate students on the importance of balanced nutrition—especially for those participating in competitive and recreational sports.
Central to these efforts is a collaborative approach between coaches, nutritionists, and school staff. New “Fuel & Play” workshops are being held weekly, offering students hands-on experience in preparing simple, energizing meals while learning sports fundamentals in a fun, inclusive environment.
