Why?
If schools do not deal
with children’s health
by design, they deal
with it by default.

What is a PartnerSHIP?

A partnership is a strategic alliance or relationship between
two or more people. Successful partnerships are often based
on trust, equality, and mutual understanding and
obligations. Partnerships can be formal, where each party's
roles and obligations are spelled out in a written agreement,
or informal, where the roles and obligations are assumed or
agreed to verbally.

A working relationship between two or more parties creating
added value for the customer.

Mississippi’s Economic Reality


Estimated lost lifetime earnings in Mississippi for one class of
dropouts totals over $4 billion.
Mississippi would save more than $121 million in health care costs
over the course of the lifetime of each class of drop outs
The state’s economy would see a combination of savings and
revenue of more than $93 million in reduced crime spending and
increased earnings each year if the male high school graduation
rate increased by just 5%
More than $1.5 billion would be added to the state’s economy by
2020 if students of color graduated at the same rate as white
students

Accountability Standards

37.2
Each school has on file a school
wellness policy developed by a local
school health council that addresses the
eight components of a coordinated
approach to school health and that has
been approved by the local school
board.
Wellness Policy
A document - approved by the local
school board - that promotes a
healthy school environment. By
focusing on nutrition and physical
activity standards, a wellness policy
seeks to improve children’s health,
classroom behaviors, and academic
performance.
School Health Council
A School Health Council (SHC) is an
advisory group composed of
committed individuals from both the
school and the community. The
group works together to provide
guidance and leadership to the
school on all aspects of the school
health program.
Guidelines for Mississippi School
Health Councils



School Health Councils must meet a
minimum of three times per year.
School Health Councils must maintain
minutes for each meeting for
documentation.
A minimum of one presentation per year
must be made to the local school board for
approval of all school wellness policies.
Mississippi BEVERAGE
and SNACK REGULATIONS
are now one of the
minimum requirements
for all
Local Wellness Policies
in Mississippi.

Nutrition In Action
Does your brain need a drink?
Nutrition News at Our School
Did you know?
This is a FILL-IN-THE-BLANK box where you can insert information
about nutrition in your school.
 Your brain is about 80 percent water.
 Getting enough water (or staying wellhydrated) can help you feel better and
do better on your school work.
 Staying well-hydrated is also really
important for kids who play sports and do
activities like marching band or dance.
 Plain, cool water is the best beverage
for children and adults who want to feel
good, think smart, and stay healthy.
 Sodas, sports drinks, and other sweet
beverages are poor substitutes for water,
since they are filled with extra calories
and artificial ingredients.
Water is an important part of every day
- getting enough fluid will help YOU be
fit, healthy, and ready to succeed!
This month would be great time to
promote your breakfast program or
after-school snacks.
You could also highlight any nutrition
classes or programs that will be
offered in your community.
You can change the color, size, and
font of the text using the regular
PowerPoint toolbars.
NEED HELP? Ask another staff
member (or a student) who is familiar
with PowerPoint for assistance.

Mississippi’s Coordinated School Health
Program (CHSP) is a collaborative
effort between the Mississippi
Department of Education Office of
Healthy Schools and the Mississippi
Department of Health. Mississippi
receives funding from CDC’s Division of
Adolescent and School Health to
promote coordinated school health,
provide HIV prevention education, and
conduct the Youth Risk Behavior
Survey (YRBS).
CDC: State’s school health programs are ‘extraordinary’
by Michaela Gibson Morris/NEMS Daily Journal
TUPELO – National survey results show that Mississippi school health efforts are among the
most proactive in the country, a federal health official told Mississippi school health
advocates Wednesday. “We at the CDC look at what’s been done in Mississippi … it’s
nothing less than extraordinary,” Howell Wechsler, director of the Centers for Disease Control’s
division of adolescent and school health, said during the opening day of the Mississippi Alliance for
School Health conference at the BancorpSouth Arena. Wechsler told 200 educators, school
nurses and health advocates that Mississippi’s coordinated approach to school health
programs is a model for the nation. “Your efforts are paying off,” Wechsler said. “But this is
no time to slack off. There’s still a long way to go.” In the 2008 School Health Profiles,
compiled by the Centers for Disease Control, Mississippi was in the top quarter of states in four key
areas: In Percent of school districts banning all tobacco use on campus. In Percent of schools
health education curriculum that addresses the eight key standards identified by the CDC. In
Percent of schools that have a health council, team or committee. In Percent of schools that don’t
have junk food and sugary sodas available in vending machines on campus. Wechsler specifically
pointed out the improvement in that last category. “Two years ago, Mississippi was near the
bottom,” Wechsler said. “Now you’re very near the top.” For the nation, it appears that the
rate of childhood obesity is flattening out but remains at epidemic levels. “If we don’t make some
major changes,” Wechsler said, “one of three children born in 2000 will develop diabetes. That will
break the bank.”
RWJF Childhood Obesity Update—2008
Risa Lavizzo-Mourey, RWJF President and CEO
May 14, 2008
2008 The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation | www.rwjf.org
RWJF catalyzes efforts to prevent childhood obesity.
Through the NGA’s Healthy Kids, Healthy America program,
governors in 15 states are creating and implementing plans
to tackle the epidemic. While each participating state is
working hard, we’re especially excited about what’s
happening in Mississippi. State leaders have embraced the
cause of obesity prevention with a passion, despite a myriad
of economic and social challenges, including restoring the
Gulf Coast region battered by Hurricane Katrina. The
Mississippi obesity-prevention effort may be the most
integrated and collaborative in the nation, with education
leaders, the public health community and philanthropies
working hand in hand with government officials. Mississippi’s
decision to include private foundations as an equal partner is
unique, and I believe it’s a very smart approach.
