And The Award Goes to…..

Great Falls Public School District is working hard to meet award winning health initiatives.  Currently, the district is completing an application to be a Healthier US School.  The HealthierUS School Challenge (HUSSC) is a voluntary certification initiative established in 2004 to recognize those schools participating in the National School Lunch Program that have created healthier school environments through promotion of nutrition and physical activity.  Good job GFPS, and good luck!!
