| For Participating Schools
|
Schools with grades 6-8 from a select group of the Governor's eight Cities of Promise (Detroit, Highland Park, Hamtramck, Pontiac, Benton Harbor, Flint, Saginaw, Muskegon Heights) will participate in a three-year project that will empower and support student action teams (SATs), under the guidance of community mentor teams (CMTs), to be actively involved:
- as members of the school Coordinated School Health Team (CSHT) to assess their school environment using the Healthy School Action Tool
- in development of the plan to make changes in the school environment so that all students have opportunities to eat healthy, be physically active and be tobacco-free
- in identifying personal strategies to lead by example through positive health behaviors
- in taking a leadership role to create excitement and success among student action teams at other schools
- in generating information that can be used to create a replicable model to extend to other Michigan schools in communities with racial and ethnic disparities
