Schools play a critical role in promoting the health and safety of young people and helping them establish lifelong healthy behavior patterns. Schools can promote student health through a variety of strategies including health education and physical education classes; nutritious school meals and snacks; opportunities to participate in physical activity before, during, and after school; health, mental health, psychological, and counseling services; a safe and supportive physical and social climate; and health promotion activities for families.
