Action
for Healthy Kids
Action for Healthy Kids is about creating health-promoting schools that
support sound nutrition and physical activity as part of a total learning
environment.
Action
for Healthy Kids (AFHK) is a nationwide initiative dedicated to improving
the health and educational performance of children through better nutrition
and physical activity in schools. This effort represents a response
to our nation's epidemic of overweight, sedentary, and undernourished
children and adolescents. Healthy schools produce healthy students --
and healthy students are better able to learn and achieve their true
potential. An outgrowth of the 2002 Healthy Schools Summit, AFHK is
composed of 51 State Teams and a national coordinating and resource
group. AFHK fosters sharing and collaboration among diverse stakeholders
to encourage and facilitate meaningful change in schools. Guidance and
direction is provided by more than 40 national organizations and government
agencies representing education, health,physical activity and nutrition.
The
Learning Connection: Although educators and parents have long understood
the merits of good nutrition, including better school performance, most
of America’s youth do not eat well and have inactive lifestyles.
A new report reveals that improving nutrition and physical activity
may improve schools’ academic standing as well as its financial
bottom line. Use this link
