Looking for resources to help you implement your local school wellness policy and create a healthier school environment?
The Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 (HHFKA) requires all school districts to establish and implement local school wellness policies that meet minimum standards designed to promote sound nutrition, student health, reduce childhood obesity, and provide transparency to the public on the school nutrition environment.
Team Nutrition just launched a new Web site that consolidates school wellness resources in a way that will make them easier for you to find.

School districts all over the country are updating their wellness policies and working to create a healthier school environment. Schools are making efforts to offer nutritious meals and snacks that appeal to students, planning interactive activities to get students and families involved in nutrition education and physical activity, and promoting healthy lifestyle choices. What do you have planned?
There are now more voices of support for school wellness policies! See which national organizations have joined us in issuing a joint statement<http://www.fns.usda.gov/tn/wellness-policy-statement> to recognize the important role schools play in promoting health and wellness.
For more information or any questions you may have, contact your State Child Nutrition Agency.
