Program aims to recognize healthy schools
Applications for the 4th
annual Governor’s Healthy School Awards are being accepted. The
awards honor schools that have made outstanding efforts to
promote the health and well-being of their students and faculty.
Winners will be
selected in four categories: elementary school, middle
school/junior high, high school, and school district. The top
candidate in each category will receive $5,000 and a Healthy
School banner.
Schools will be judged
on eight key components, including: health education, physical
education, health services, nutrition services,
counseling/psychological and social services, healthy school
environment, health promotion for staff, and parent/community
involvement.
