Making It Happen! School Nutrition Success Stories shares stories from 32 schools and school districts that have made innovative strategies to improve the nutritional quality of 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 the Food and Nutrition Service of the US Department of Agriculture, the Division of Adolescent and School Health of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the US Department of Education. It describes the importance of healthful eating for young people and how schools can support good nutrition, and provides tips on implementing change as well as information on school nutrition policies.
