Teachers, coaches, and communities throughout Texas are excited about the opportunity to create a healthier school environment through the It’s Time Texas Growing Healthy Schools initiative. In 2014, It’s Time Texas launched their Growing Healthy Schools tool to provide communities with a platform to raise funds for projects aimed at improving school health.

Thanks to support from the community and from It’s Time Texas sponsors, children and staff at schools throughout the state of Texas have benefited from having new exercise equipment and gardens at their schools. Two examples of successful projects include:

  • A new staff wellness center at University of Texas Elementary School; and
  • A community garden at Colonial Hills elementary
