Stir It Up Campaign in Schools

Research shows that children who don't have healthy eating habits have lower test scores, increased absenteeism, difficulty concentrating and lower energy levels. School principals are key advocates in the fight for better student nutrition and wellness, but they need prodding and support from parents to make real change happen. This campaign is helping parents get active in their children's schools—starting with a letter inviting principals to join the effort to get junk food out and physical activity in schools.
