School Wellness Programs
In order to grow, learn and thrive, children need access to healthy food, opportunities to be physically active and the tools to support positive decision making.
A school wellness program can effectively raise students’ awareness of the lifestyle choices they are making each day. It can promote better eating and exercise habits, which can help students have the energy and focus they need to do well in school.
Healthy, physically fit students have a better chance for long-term success, and studies also show:
- Healthier children make better students
- Physical activity increases test scores
- Only nutrient-rich food can provide the essential building blocks needed for developing brains.
When focus is on the overall wellbeing of students, their ability to learn, cope and contribute improves tremendously.
