A Manual for Making It Yours
What do we hope you will get from this manual?
Details: Find out how to implement Project Healthy Schools in your school. The chapters walk you through each step of the process, and the appendix is full of resources, such as our actual lessons, checklists, email templates, newsletters and protocols to help you get started easily.
Advice: Learn from our six years of experience of implementing the program and working in public middle schools.
Inspiration: Included throughout the guide are pictures of students participating in our program and quotes from parents about how our program has made a difference in the health of their kids.
Who is the intended audience?
Our program wasn’t designed with one specific group in mind. Teachers, school administrators, school nurses, public health professionals, community health centers, health departments, or anyone dedicated to improving the health of children can benefit. We have found that a collaborative team of concerned individuals and organizations works well, but we want anyone to be able to pick up our manual and implement Project Healthy Schools in their school.
Why did we write this manual?
Over the past several years, we have received multiple requests for instructions on replicating our Project Healthy Schools program. We decided it was time to write this manual because we want you to impact the health of children without having to reinvent the wheel. We have seen great success with our program, including lowering students’ blood pressure, total cholesterol, triglycerides and resting heart rates. In this manual, we present every aspect of the multifaceted program that has led to this success.
