Child Nutrition Act Reauthorization

A tasty, healthy school meal designed by high school students in Chicago was served May 5 in the Capitol Hill cafeteria and at a nearby briefing on the future of school food, where the students prepared the meal with White House chef Sam Kass. Now, we need to urge our Congressional leaders to support a strong, well-funded reauthorization of the Child Nutrition Act that will make this type of healthy meal a daily reality in our nation’s schools.

Green Clean Schools

In 2006, the state of New York became the first state in the nation to pass a law protecting children’s health by requiring green cleaning in schools. In 2007, Illinois passed a similar law. In Nov. 2008, Healthy Schools Campaign brought together activists and industry leaders from states around the U.S. to build coalitions that will advocate for green clean schools laws. Raise your voice for green cleaning in schools by adding your name to the list of supporters.
