Signs point to healthy
eating for schools
 |
Signs
Now, the Wolverhampton based graphics and signs company, has
developed a range of signs specifically for schools, encouraging
children to select healthy options from the lunch menu.
The twenty individual illustrations, created for Signs Now by
Birmingham Artist Jan Sitek, appeal to children of all ages
and have been transformed into attractive large format signs,
designed to be displayed standing off the wall for maximum impact.
One of the first sets of the new signs were presented to Queen
Victoria School, Sedgley, by Bill Dunphy, Managing Director
of Signs Now. Mrs Pat Baynham, the teacher responsible for encouraging
healthy eating, accepted the signs on behalf of the school saying:
“We are supporting the nationwide nutrition and fitness
campaign in schools and with the support of Signs Now, we are
encouraging our children to be healthy and active.” |
Increasing
rates of child obesity is a real concern for parents and teachers
alike. Schools are supporting the National Get Active and Healthy
Eating campaign by appointing healthy eating coordinators and working
with all concerned to encourage greater awareness of the need to
motivate children to eat more healthy food and take more exercise.
Bill Dunphy said: “Communicating the benefits of healthy eating
using large format professionally created graphics is an excellent
way to attract the attention of children and get the message across.
Signs Now is pleased to be involved in this campaign and delighted
with the reaction of the children at Queen Victoria School to the
new signs.”
Signs Now is an established supplier to schools across the country
and working with head teachers and governors has developed a range
of signs for both external and internal use, covering school name
signs, welcome signs, rules signs and information signs, as well
as healthy eating signs. These signs for schools may be viewed at
