Observed the last week of April each year, this week shines a spotlight on the great efforts schools are taking to improve the health and wellness of their students and provides an opportunity for everyone in the country to get involved in a celebration supporting sound nutrition, regular physical activity and health-promoting programs in schools.
The Florida Department of Health encourages you to use this week to focus on children's health messaging, residents to volunteer for local events and everyone to support activities at local schools. To learn more, visit www.ActionforHealthyKids.org.
