The 2018-2019 school year marked the
second year of the Healthy Schools
pilot aimed at improving student
health and academic achievement.
Each Healthy School implemented
tactics to increase the consumption
of healthy foods such as fruits and
vegetables combined with increased
physical activity.
Recognizing that every school has a
unique set of circumstances, flexibility
in adopting a range of strategies was
encouraged so that school leaders
and staff could best serve the needs
of their students and families.
