Jada Walker

Jada Walker is a 6th grader at Martin B. Anderson School #1. In the summertime, she loves to find creative ways to live a 5-2-1-0 lifestyle, which makes her an inspiration to her peers and a great healthy hero.

Jada knows the importance of eating at least five fruits or vegetables each day. In fact, this summer, at the Harley School she even learned to grow her own vegetable garden during the Horizons summer program. "We used pitch forks to dig up the garlic that we have in our garden, then we took four or five cloves of garlic tied them together and hung them up," said Jada.

Her garden teacher Lisa Barker recognized Jada's passion for learning new ways to live healthy. "She's super engaged in the gardening and we're lucky to have her out here with us," she said.

Not only does Jada enjoy planting and eating fresh vegetables, but she also loves inspiring others to get active. Jada participates in her summer camp's Zumba program and takes on a leadership role in class by bringing energy and enthusiasm to every beat.

Jada is a great example of a Healthy Hero Kid because she loves living healthy.
