Tips from Award Winners
Become familiar
with Team Nutrition's HealthierUS
School Challenge site
and, in particular, the
HUSSC
Application Kit. The
FAQs are
particularly useful! (Central
Elementary, TX)
Form a team
of administrators, food
managers, PE teachers, and
anybody willing to be involved.
Be sure to involve kids in menu
planning! (Scott County,
KY)
Work with
USDA State Representatives when
you start the process to make
sure your time and efforts are
not wasted and that the form is
being filled out correctly.
(Krauss Elementary, TX)
Present the Challenge at a
meeting with your school
principal. It is important to
state very succinctly what you
need help with in terms of
leadership and prioritization. (ISD
196, MN)
Make
changes at the beginning of the
school year. Make sure the
changes are gradual so students
hardly notice. Find someone that
is just as passionate as you are
to really get the ball rolling.
Use your state department of
education as a supportive
resource. (Gooding Elementary,
ID)
Have
dietetic interns help with
nutrition education and
promotional programs. They are
full of creativity and valuable
information! (ISD 196, MN)
