- Write a goal statement to help meet or address those needs.
- Create a simple action plan to help your students meet that goal.
- Engage your school's stakeholders in the process.
- Winning schools have a chance to win a Grand Prize including a $30,000 grant, Ultimate Energy Balance Party, and event with leading nutrition experts. Plus 2 Runner-Up winning classes will each receive a $10,000 grant.
