Through their discussions, we identified problems and assets and had participants design activities that could avoid these issues and improve participation in healthy active living. These ideas will be further discussed, refined, and pilot tested with the community.

Students were asked to design a logo that captured healthy active living and nature-based activities within the Riverdale community, and we received over 60 submissions! Of these submissions, the SCORE! team picked a winner based on artistic merit, alignment with SCORE! objectives, and overall impression. Though it was a tough decision, we picked Samiha (Grade 4) as our winner! Congratulations Samiha and all contest participants!
