New Resource: Nutrition and Physical Activity Resources for Schools

Date published: November 21, 2006

This resource guide was developed by the Virginia Healthy Pathways Coalition Schools Committee, which is one of the standing committees under the Virginia Healthy Pathways Coalition. The mission of the Virginia Healthy Pathways Coalition is to reduce the burden of cardiovascular disease in Virginia by providing a forum for communication and collaboration among stakeholders.

The Schools Committee members work to promote the prevention of heart disease and stroke for staff, students and their families through the school setting. One of the committee’s goals is to partner with schools in promoting physical activity and healthy nutritional practices. This resource guide provides information that will be helpful to PTAs, school nurses, physical education teachers, classroom teachers and other school staff in designing programs related to physical activity and healthy nutrition.
