Stories from Illinois

One thing that’s very exciting about the Healthy Schools Program is the team approach. We had our food service director, teachers, nurse – they are all involved. It’s a team effort.

Kimberly Norton
Principal, Northeast Elementary School

Healthier Generation really helped us define healthy. We used a lot of resources like the Product Calculator for Smart Snacks that helped us create a common definition for our community of what being healthy meant.

Founder and Executive Director, Namaste Charter School
