DCPS Athletics has partnered with Chartwells to educate the community about sports-related injuries. The importance of proper nutrition and hydration, as it relates to cardiovascular disease, concussions and general wellness.
During the Girls Flag Football Gateway Conference Championships, the campaign to promote nutritional awareness was kicked off by having Dietician Kate Dienst speak to the female student athletes, coaches and parents on eating healthily on game day, eating for energy, roles of nutrients, hydration, and easy meals to eat on the go. The student athletes were provided information on pre and post workout meals and given water to promote hydration.
