Considering the budget restraints and time crunches schools face, it can be tough for officials to provide their students with a healthy meal or squeeze in time for physical activity. But in spite of all the obstacles, some amazing schools are transforming their campuses into healthy places.
The 275 schools listed below are being honored by President Bill Clinton and the Alliance for a Healthier Generation for all their hard work. They’ve distinguished themselves in the alliance’s “Healthy Schools Program” by improving the nutritional value of their school meals, meeting or exceeding guidelines for school beverages and making time for physical activity, among other achievements.
Will you send an e-card to these schools to help recognize them for all their hard work? These schools are leading the way in the effort to reverse childhood obesity, and they deserve our thanks.
