My Healthy Awesome School

Why I am a Force for Health® Member...

The tough cases come my way and I need to be able to support those kids in school and keep them engaged, and be able to do referrals and coordination with their families and local agencies and services. The Force for Health makes it easier for me to get some successes in this challenging time.

How I use the Force for Health Network Tools

I love the Chamber of Health joint directory and calendar to help find resources for my students and their families. In school and with outreach to parents, we are using the Reality Health Games to help make it more fun and likely to get buy in from students and involvement from parents.

The real world incentives lets our students (with local industry support) win rewards for learning such as food, shoes, and coats and work out gear.

Finally, its great for all my students to understand the disparity and social issues and to think about kindness, and inclusion.

For those that wish to achieve more, I encourage them to become leaders and step up to the STEAM Teams and do an IDEAS project. Its great for their resume, but also for our town and our people.
