Hear from champions from just two of the many schools and districts we work with in Tennessee: Jackson-Madison County School System, which has enrolled all of its 27 schools in the Healthy Schools Program and Beech Bluff Elementary School, which has been enrolled in the Healthy Schools Program since 2009. It works with schools, companies, community organizations, health-care professionals, and families to transform the conditions and systems that lead to healthier kids. We’ve also made it easier for more than 12,700 youth in 110 out-of-school time programs to eat right and move more through our Healthy Out-of-School Time Initiative. The Alliance for a Healthier Generation is a catalyst for children’s health. Since 2007, 44 Tennessee schools have been recognized with National Healthy Schools Awards for their outstanding efforts. Nearly 900 schools serving over 508,000 students across the state have joined Healthier Generation's Healthy Schools Program, creating healthier school environments for children to thrive. The Alliance for a Healthier Generation (The Alliance) was founded as a response to the growing rate of childhood obesity. In Tennessee, we’re making it easier for kids to develop healthy habits. We make the healthy choice, the easy choice, for young people and their families. July 2013 - June 2014 Dear friends: Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 was a year of extraordinary growth and exciting new extensions of the Alliance for a Healthier Generation’s core initiatives. The Alliance for a Healthier Generation, thanks to support from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, Assisi Foundation, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, is working with communities throughout the state to make it easier for kids to lead healthier lives. But aside from its many ways to unwind, the state also faces a distressing problem: Tennessee is the eleventh most obese state in the nation for children. The Alliance for a Healthier Generation believes every child deserves a healthy future.
In Tennessee, you can take in the breath-taking scenery from the Great Smoky Mountains, listen to melodies from the home of country music and the blues, and savor plenty of Southern culinary favorites.
