Action for Healthy Kids
Resource Details
Action for Healthy Kids is a nationwide initiative dedicated to improving the health and educational performance of children through better nutrition and physical activity in schools. This effort represents a response to our nation's epidemic of overweight, sedentary, and undernourished children and adolescents. Healthy schools produce healthy students-and healthy students are better able to learn and achieve their true potential. The mission of Action for Healthy Kids is to activate schools, families and the community to ensure our kids are healthy, fit and ready to learn. If we don't help our children learn to eat right and be active every day, then this generation will be the first to live shorter lives than their parents.
