Growing Healthy Schools Month (GHSM) celebrates how schools across the District of Columbia are creating healthy places for all students. 

During the month of April, let us know how YOUR school contributes to a healthy school environment by taking the pledge here.

Opportunities for District students to win awards for original artwork, written essays, and other activities that highlight health and wellness, through the Student Awards Categories are highlighted in the Growing Healthy Schools Month Student Contests Submission Form here.

Local education agencies (LEAs) are encouraged to use the linked resources and information in this GHSM Resource Guide to support their existing GHSM planning.
