The Easton Area School District recognizes that student wellness and proper nutrition are related to students’ physical well-being, growth, development and readiness to learn. The School Board is committed to providing a school environment that promotes student wellness, proper nutrition, nutrition education, and regular physical activity as part of the total learning experience. In a healthy school environment, students will learn about and participate in positive dietary and lifestyle practices that have been shown to improve student achievement.
Habits and practices related to physical activity, eating, and tobacco use are influenced by the entire school environment. That’s why the School Health Index has eight different modules, which correspond to the eight components of a coordinated school health program, shown here. Click to view larger image.
