HEALTHY LIVINGHealthy and well-nourished children are more able to develop their minds and bodies as they should, and they are far more capable of concentrating, learning and thriving throughout their school years. We provide several school-based and out-of-school programs that develop children's bodies and minds, as well as community-based initiatives that meet the unique needs of families. Programs include Al's Pals, U-ACT, Generation RX Prescription Take-Back, Dia de la Famillia & Bully Awareness.
