Shape Up SF Updates
Shape Up SF Holiday Party – Save the date for December 9 at 5:30 PM in the living room at Sports Basement (1590 Bryant St.). Join us for drinks, food, and a 20% discount. Download Flyer (PDF).
PE Advocates – There is a lot of evidence that PE improves not only health, but academics too. One of the Physical Activity Council’s policy recommendations includes PE, and the PAC formed a subcommittee, PE-A to move this work forward. SUSF successfully applied to the California Obesity Prevention Program for $25k to increase quality and quantity of PE among SFUSD elementary schools. Most of funding will go to an assessment of PE (conducted by UCSF). SUSF has secured additional funding (including from Kaiser Permanente) to hold a PE Forum to focus on policy makers, teachers, and parents. We’ve reached out to John Ratey, author of SPARK: The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain, as a keynote speaker, presented to the Board of Ed’s Curriculum Committee, and SFUSD’s Student Nutrition and Physical Activity Collaborative. See more info.
Safe Routes to School (SRTS) – This year, we have tripled the number of SRTS sites!
Participating Schools and Neighborhoods in 2010-11. (61% of students at these schools live within one mile of their school.)
- Bryant* (Mission)
- Buena Vista (Potrero Hill/Mission)
- El Dorado (Visitation Valley)
- ER Taylor (Portola)
- Fairmount (Noe Valley/Bernal Heights)

*indicates schools that participated in the 2009-2010 school year.
34 schools and over 7K kids participated in Walk to School Day (October 6) this year.
Baseline Study – SFUSD is changing to a neighborhood assignment system next school year and UCSF is conducting of baseline study using the SRTS Student Travel Tally to measure how students are currently getting to school. This will hopefully turn into a 10 year longitudinal study to measure how this change in policy AND how the SRTS program will impact travel patterns among students.
Safe Routes to School now has a website: www.sfsaferoutes.org
Walking Challenge – Mark your calendars for the next Shape Up SF Walking Challenge from Feb 28-May 6, 2011. In 2010, there was about 40% increase in the number of teams, and the miles collectively walked increased by 7.83%. Goals for the next year are to increase participation, make it easier for offline members to log miles, make the website more interactive, and do more outreach to businesses for incentives and offers. If you’re interested in helping plan, please join conference call on Friday, October 22, from 10-11.
Southeast Food Access Working Group (SEFA) – SEFA has been around for 3.5 years, working to increase access to healthy and fresh produce in BVHP. They’ve been working with the owner of SuperSave to improve the store for nearly a decade. SEFA brought in John Sutti and Associates who provided pro bono advice and SF Redevelopment Agency paid him to develop a plan, budget, etc. to create a farmers market feel. Redevelopment has developed a loan program to help fund these changes.
Food Guardians – SEFA has hired 6 Food Guardians, residents of BVHP, to develop healthy retail standards. There should be a substantial difference in the amount of produce in BVHP in the next year. The Food Guardians are also surveying Board of Supervisors candidates on food justice issues and have been advocating for Supervisor Mar’s Healthy Meal Incentive legislation.
Worksite Wellness – Catherine Dodd, former Chief of Staff to the Mayor, is now the Director of the Health Service System and has hired a Health Promotion and Wellness Plan Coordinator to integrate worksite wellness into city departments. Shape Up SF will continue to partner with them to create healthier worksites.
Summer Lunch – DCYF served more youth than ever at their 131 summer lunch sites this year.
43% increase in snacks
24$ increase in lunch
8% increase in amount of lunch eaten
33% increase in amount of snacks eaten
Next year, focus on less sites, more outreach, and to increase the quality of food.

Guest Presentation – Susan Zieff, Active Living Across the Lifespan’s Sunday Street Evaluation
Measuring whether a community-wide event like Sunday Streets can change physical activity behavior and if so, what are the policy implications? Specific data will be published so we are not able to post the presentation. For specific questions, please contact Susan directly. susangz@sfsfu.edu
Susan King, Sunday Streets Coordinator,discussed some changes to Sunday Streets. In the first year, merchants feared being on the route, now they want to be on the route. People overall like the changing neighborhoods, and in the future, there will continue to be “backbone” routes such as the Embarcadero, Bayview, Great Highway, and in the Mission. Susan King is happy to come back to present when the plans are finalized for next year.
