Understanding the Healthier U.S. Schools Challenge Program
As mentioned in Michele Obama’s Let’s Move Campaign, the Healthier U.S. Schools Challenge Program challenges schools to serve healthier meals in their cafeterias and gives them a chance to earn funding to achieve this goal.
The overarching goal of the HealthierUS School Challenge (HUSSC) is to improve the health of the Nation’s children by promoting healthier school environments. To help meet the goal, the Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) identifies schools that have made changes to
improve the quality of the foods served,
provide students with nutrition education, and
provide students with physical education and opportunities for physical activity.
