Schools Have an Important Role
“The question is not whether schools should address non-academic barriers to learning but what they can do both alone and with others to support learning.”

-National Association of State Boards of Education

Good school health programs play a crucial supporting role to excellence in education. School health programs can help ensure that students are fit, healthy, and ready to learn every day.
