Parents, teachers, students, school nurses and many others are creating health-promoting changes at school through HSC's programs. Together, we are working to ensure that schools can provide students with healthy environments, nutritious food, opportunities for physical activity and lessons that support lifelong healthy habits.
With the help of Fit to Learn®, teachers are seamlessly integrating wellness into the classroom environment and the school experience.
School nurses are key to children’s health and success at school. They provide care to individual students and help shape school-wide policy.
Through Parents United/Padres Unidos, parents in Chicago’s Latino and African-American communities are making change for kids’ health.
With HSC’s support, schools are cleaning to promote health without harming the environment.
Students are the best resource for improving school food. Cooking up Change allows them develop healthy meal ideas and transform what they eat at school.
With Go for the Gold, HSC is partnering with Chicago Public Schools to ignite a city-wide movement for health and learning.
The air children, teachers and staff breathe in school can make a difference between a productive day of learning and a trip to the emergency room.
What do you see at school every day? Students and teachers are showing the world what their school really looks like with the Through Your Lens photo community.
