All of our children deserve the opportunity to succeed, whether they want to be an astronaut, open a restaurant, or play third base. Children are full of possibility and potential. As parents, caregivers and adults, that gives us great hope for this world. Our children will craft and create a bright and beautiful future.
Our role is to give our children the building blocks to succeed. The healthy school day is an important place to start.
And guess what? Schools need parents more than ever before. At a time when our Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos is trying arm teachers with guns, and schools have more cops than counselors, it's more important than ever before for parents and caregivers to step up and get involved.
We can help! We’re thrilled to announce that our brand-new, hot-off-the-presses Parent Power Pack is full of useful information and resources for supporting the healthy school day.
We’ve made tremendous advances in recent years. Parents have helped usher in new updates to school foods that promote healthy meals, snacks and drinks. We’ve championed physical education, dual language learning, and ending the school to prison pipeline. We're seeing progress.
Our children and our families live multi-issue lives. In fact for many of us, safety in schools, or knowing we can take time off when our kids are sick, is at the top of our minds. That’s why this year’s Power Pack also includes resources around paid sick days, immigration and gun safety.
Get your free copy today, and you’ll get helpful updates and information on:
- Healthy School Foods and Snacks
- Dual-Language Learning

- Water and Sugary Drinks

All children should have this opportunity."
