School Nutrition Success Stories
Making It Happen! School Nutrition Success Stories shares stories from 32 schools and school districts that have made innovative changes to improve the nutritional quality of all foods and beverages offered and sold on school campuses. These success stories illustrate the wide variety of approaches used to improve student nutrition. The most consistent theme emerging from these case studies is that students will buy and consume healthful foods and beverages, and schools can make money from healthful options. Making It Happen! includes a variety of materials developed by some of the schools and contact information for each story. To learn more about this publication, read the Executive Summary.
Making it Happen! is a joint project of USDA's Team Nutrition and the Department of Health and Human Services' Centers for Disease Control and Prevention - Division of Adolescent and School Health (DASH) and is supported by the Department of Education. It was undertaken as part of the HealthierUS initiative.
