Each student enters school healthy and learns about and practices a healthy lifestyle.
Research confirms that students do better in school when they are emotionally and physically healthy. They concentrate more, achieve higher test scores, miss fewer classes, and are less likely to engage in risky or antisocal behavior. Schools and communities committed to educating the whole child create an environment that promotes the learning and practice of healthy lifestyles.
