Our Work in Nebraska

In Nebraska, we’re making it easier for kids to develop healthy habits.

Nearly 400 schools serving over 178,000 students across the state have joined Healthier Generation's Healthy Schools Program, creating healthier school environments for children to thrive. Since 2007, 39 Nebraska schools have been recognized with National Healthy Schools Awards for their outstanding efforts.

We’ve also made it easier for more than 2,500 youth in 26 out-of-school time programs to eat right and move more through our Healthy Out-of-School Time Initiative.

 

Success Stories

Hear from a school champion from just one of the many schools and districts we work with in Nebraska: Ezra Millard Elementary School, enrolled in the Healthy Schools Program since 2011.

 

I am proudest of implementing a wellness policy in our school, getting staff members on board implementing physical activity, and incorporating health and wellness into our school’s mission statement.
