Healthy Zone School

Christie Cubs and Parents-
I am thrilled to announce that Christie has been selected to be a Healthy Zone School!  This is super exciting news for our school as it provides additional funding resources, educational opportunities for coaches and important health tips for parents, students, and staff members.  The Healthy Zone School Recognition Program was developed by United Way of Metropolitan Dallas and The Cooper Institute in 2011, and supports and recognizes schools in North Texas that are fighting the childhood obesity epidemic and creating healthy school environments. The program has shown to be effective in improving the healthy behaviors of schools, and in turn, a positive impact on student health outcomes has been observed.  The Healthy Zone School Recognition Program expanded to 141 schools in the 2016-2017 school year and impacted more than 96,000 local students.  This school year, 2017-2018, the Healthy Zone School Recognition Program added 20 new schools with Christie being one of the 20 selected.  As we begin to wrap our brain around this incredible opportunity, please check out the September Newsletter below from the Healthy Zone School Program.
