In partnership with Mid Coast Hospital and Let’s Go, the school focused on the following messages: 5 or more fruits and vegetables per day, 2 hours or less of recreational screen time, 1 hour or more of physical activity and ZERO sweetened drinks.

The 5-2-1-0 program is now active in many schools, early childhood centers and pediatric practices throughout Maine and the country. During the past four years, Mid Coast Hospital has sponsored and supported the program locally.
