School spotlight
Since 2003, the Center for Nutrition and Activity Promotion has been working with schools throughout Pennsylvania to promote nutrition and physical activity.
Schools across the commonwealth are committed to helping their student be healthier - to help instill lifetime healthy habits and better prepare them for learning opportunities both in and out of the classroom.
Read about what schools in your community are doing to improve nutrition and physical activity for today's youth. Or submit your school's story to info@nrgbalance.org and we'll review it for a future school spotlight posting.
