Sunny Me in the Classroom
Health, friendship, and courage, from a teacher who’s been there.
Sunny Me® books are about the things children have a hard time saying out loud. Being afraid. Being new. Being the one nobody picked. Sunny Me in the Classroom brings those stories to your school, and gets kids moving while it’s at it.
Meet the Teacher
Deborah Rowe Johnson is a certified teacher and coach for all levels, K-12. She taught art in Round Rock ISD, where wellness days and Jump Rope for Heart were part of the school year, and she led the employee wellness program at Temple College.
She knows how a school day runs, and she builds every Sunny Me visit around it.
What We Bring to Your School
- Wellness day events. Sunny Me visits during PE time, spread over two or three days so every class gets a turn.
- School packets. A Sunny Me coloring book, a Sunny Me jump rope, and a stress ball for each student.
- Family shopping on event days. Sunny Me t-shirts and jump ropes for sale before and after school.
- Story time with Deborah. A read-aloud from one of the Sunny Me books.
Why It Works
Kids get moving, hear a story about being brave, and go home with something that reminds them of it. Teachers get a program that fits into PE time without extra planning on their end.
