Parents
Healthy Schools Recognition Program!

The Ministry of Education is also working to promote Healthy Schools. They have lots of useful infomation posted on their website: http://www.edu.gov.on.ca/eng/teachers/healthyschools.html

The Healthy Schools Recognition Program promotes and celebrates healthy behaviours and practices in Ontario's schools. Schools pledge to take on a healthy activity in their school – and receive recognition for it. Schools can start a new activity or build on an existing one.

The Premier, Minister of Education and Minister of Health Promotion will recognize participating schools with a certificate and pennant. A list of participating schools will also be posted on the Ministry of Education's website.

How can schools apply? 

Schools should submit the Recognition Program Acceptance Form (PDF, 580 KB) to the Ministry of Education by Thursday, April 8, 2010.
