The vast majority of parents want schools to limit students' access to high-calorie chips, sodas and candy and to offer them opportunities for physical activity throughout the day, a new survey by the Alliance for a Healthier Generation shows. The national survey signals the breadth of parents' support for changes to make schools healthier places—and their willingness to help make those changes happen. In fact, nearly eight in 10 parents are ready to get more involved to create a healthier environment in their local schools.
Through its Healthy Schools Program, the Alliance offers support to schools that want to become healthier places for students to learn and staff to work. Any concerned parent can help his or her child’s school achieve this goal by joining the Healthy Schools Network for free tools, tips and resources for creating a healthier school environment.
