Schools play an important role in helping children to be healthy and
fit. A fast growing body of research indicates that student wellness
and academic learning go hand-in-hand. Put simply, the benefits that
can arise from proper nutrition and physical activity are a prerequisite
to optimal learning and to avoiding and preventing chronic diseases.
We have put together a page of resources for schools on the topic of:
Tools for Creating a Culture of Wellness.
The Learning Connection- U.S. Surgeon General, David Sacther and Action for Healthy Kids
