Great things can happen when community organizations partner-up to find healthy solutions for preventing Latino childhood obesity! Recently Fuel Up to Play 60, one of the nation’s leading groups for promoting health and wellness in schools, decided to partner with the Healthy Zone School Recognition Program, to get more schools to implement healthy and sustainable changes.

Fuel-Up to Play 60–a program offered nationwide to kids in more than 73,000 schools–provides schools with a toolkit that encourages “healthy plays” for improving school physical activity and nutrition.

The Healthy Zone School recognition program (Healthy Zone) honors schools for their healthy practices and provides assistance to those wanting to improve their health status.

Up until now, the Healthy Zone initiative has only been offered to schools in the Dallas area.

Now through the partnership with Fuel Up to Play 60, leaders from Healthy Zone will be able expand their reach to schools all across the country.

The first school district outside of Dallas that will benefit from this change and Healthy Zone’s expansion is the Arlington ISD.
