A model school health program includes all eight components: <br />Comprehensive School Health Education; School Health Services; A Safe Physical <br />Environment; School Counseling, Psychological and Social Services; Physical <br />Education; Nutrition Services; School -Site Health Promotion for Staff; Family and <br />Community Involvement in Schools <br />NC Healthy Schools focuses on improving the health of students and staff by providing <br />coordination and resources in eight component areas of school health. With all of these <br />components in place and working together, students will be healthier in school, in class, <br />and ready to learn. In healthy schools, children are more alert, more focused on learning, <br />and miss less school. They not only learn better, but also learn lifelong healthy behaviors <br />to prevent the leading causes of death in North Carolina: heart disease, stroke, and <br />cancer. Healthier schools lead to healthier students which lead to healthier communities. <br />It just makes sense. <br />Ki <br />
