Website Spotlight: Parents for Healthy Kids

Children spend 1,200 hours annually in school—more time than anywhere else outside of the home. And those who attend health-promoting schools develop lifelong healthy habits and are better prepared to learn. The need for parents to get involved in school health and wellness may be more crucial today than ever. ParentsforHealthyKids.org, which launched on 9/14 was developed to support parents (nationwide) in their efforts to make healthy changes in their children’s schools, from improving recess to school lunches to PE to healthy fundraising and much more.
