Be Active Schools Success Stories

Be Active Schools, which first launched in six schools throughout North Carolina in 2008, helps schools create a wellness plan and create policy and built environment changes to get kids moving in the classroom, on the playground and in afterschool programs. More than 20 elementary and middle schools are involved in the program now, and several have made big changes to their school culture so that healthy, active living is the rule, not the exception.
