Students are being encouraged to show how they can make their schools healthier. Now in its fifth year, the Healthy Schools Recognition Program http://www.edu.gov.on.ca/eng/healthyschools/challenge.html encourages school communities to pledge to do something healthy, such as:

*Planting a vegetable garden on school grounds
*Establishing a daily running or walking club
*Starting a recycling or composting program
*Inviting health professionals to speak with students about fitness and teen health.

Research shows that a healthy school environment enhances learning and success in school, and provides academic, social, emotional and physical benefits. This program engages students by helping them take their health into their own hands and providing them with the tools they need to lead active, healthy lives in the future. Schools should submit their pledge by April 8th, 2011. Participating schools will receive a certificate and pennant to display in their school.
