The program includes materials for school-wide health promotion. However, while Grade 4-8 students will receive the additional benefit of classroom and PE lessons.
It is recommended that the program begins alongside the new school year in August. However, it may be used over any 8-month period.
The program is designed to be delivered over 8 months, allowing you to flexibly fit it into your schedule, based on a timeline that works best for you.
By design, the lessons can be used in general education classrooms, physical education, ancillary/specials, or in programs outside of the traditional school day (for example: before and after care).
Greaux Healthy seeks to operate as your school health resource vendor of choice. While we don't directly implement our resources in schools, we offer program-specific professional development and technical support. School leaders will determine lesson facilitators based on school-building and staff capacity.
Community Action Projects offer financial support to schools for implementing the School Health Program. As early adopters, you'll receive up to $2,000, technical assistance, professional development, and both print and PDF versions of the resources and materials.
