Through programs, policies, and learning opportunities, schools play a key role in establishing positive environments that promote and support healthy practices and behaviors such as regular physical activity and good nutrition (CDC 2017a). Kindergarten through Grade 3 is an opportune time for students to learn how to choose nutritious foods and make physical activity part of their daily lives. Proper nutrition and information on how to make healthy food choices is important for their growth, development, and overall health.
