Improving the Health and Wellness of Families
PTA was founded to support the education, safety, and health of all children. Healthy children and families are critical components to fulfilling our mission of making every child’s potential a reality by engaging and empowering families and communities to advocate for all children.
The Healthy Lifestyles initiative offers educational resources and engagement opportunities that empower students and families to make better-informed health decisions.
What Does Living Healthy Mean?
Prioritizing you and your families’ overall health is important to living happy, meaningful lives. And living healthy means more than just eating a well-balanced diet, it includes your physical, mental and emotional well-being.
Children grow and learn in many ways. It is the shared responsibility of families, schools and communities to develop the “whole child.” This means looking at all aspects of children holistically, from social, emotional and cognitive skills to academic subjects like literacy and math. Together they can ensure that every child is healthy, safe, engaged, supported and challenged.
