About the Program

Today’s children are faced with a greater number of stresses than previous generations. They also have more unhealthy distractions such as TV, video games, internet, fast food, etc. Add to the mix the reality that some school-based physical education programs have limited resources. PHE Canada and AstraZeneca Canada want to ensure that children have the best opportunity for healthy growth and development. At My Best® is designed to help give children the knowledge and skills that they need to make healthy choices today and develop lifelong healthy habits.

At My Best® includes a unique take home component to enable participation by the entire family and make learning more meaningful, real and enduring for student. Each At My Best® lesson includes suggestions on activities that students can do at home with family members, such as practicing a fun physical activity, preparing a special family meal, or reflecting on special moments in the student’s take-home journal.

What Parent Are Saying

“My daughter’s reaction has been really positive. I’ve seen her grow in many different ways. Starting with the food, I’ve seen her make healthy choices and remind me that I need to make those healthy choices and model her. I’ve also seen that she has been more physical. She wants to get out and ride her bike and I see some development in her emotions – where she’s better able to handle herself, her classmates and then out in the community.”
