Title: Bronze, Silver or Gold: HealthierUS School Challenge Overview

Description: Obesity is a growing concern for school children in the United States. The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) believes that schools should be taking a leadership role in helping students learn to make healthy eating and active lifestyle choices. Many schools have already made changes to their school nutrition environments, improved the quality of foods served, and now provide students with more nutritious, healthy choices. The HealthierUS School Challenge certification recognizes a school’s commitment to the health and wellbeing of their students.
Elementary schools that meet the HealthierUS School Challenge criteria may apply for either a Bronze, Silver or Gold award. The award is for the current school year (the year of approval) plus the following two school years.
This presentation provides an overview of the HealthierUS School Challenge criteria and instructions to apply for the award.
