Schools are powerful places to shape the health, education and well-being of our children. That is why the Alliance’s Healthy Schools Program supports more than 9,000 schools across the U.S. in their efforts to create environments where physical activity and healthy eating are accessible and encouraged.
Healthy students are better able to concentrate on their work, attend school on a regular basis and perform better in class. Anyone can make a difference by joining the Healthy Schools Program to find tools and strategies to promote physical activity and healthy eating before, during, and after school.
Who doesn't have a favorite memory from recess time in the schoolyard? A chance to run, swing and climb in the fresh air! An opportunity to talk, sing or yell after a morning of quiet concentration. Unstructured play helps children develop social, cognitive and emotional skills that are crucial for physical and mental health.
Read more on the importance of unstructured play and see how you can make a difference in your family, school or community.
