High Performance Kids in High Performance Schools 3/17/2012
Students thrive in healthy high quality school environments. Get ready for National Healthy Schools Day, April 24. Build the leadership and partnerships to make every day a healthy high performance day in your school. Massachusetts Parent Teacher Association's Annual Conference, Westborough, MA. Speaker Ellie Goldberg, M.Ed., is an environmental health and education advocate working for healthy kids and safe schools. She is the founder of www.healthy-kids.info and Lessons of the March 18, 1937 Texas School Explosion (http://tinyurl.com/LessonsTX1937) and is active in the Massachusetts PTA, National Healthy Schools Network, Alliance for a Healthy Tomorrow, Citizens for Public Schools, Laboratory Safety Institute, and other education, public health and safety organizations.
The Hero Award was created as an annual opportunity to tell the story of the 1937 TX School Explosion and to start conversations about the need to identify and eliminate chemical hazards and unhealthy conditions in today's schools.
The Hero Award is part of an ongoing campaign to promote conversations that bring 'safety' from the margins to the core of school curriculum and community culture. The goal is to strengthen parent involvement and community partnerships to establish the 21st century standards and safeguards so schools are the safe havens our children deserve.
"Teachers who enforce safety rules not only avoid accidents in school but they give their students the skills and attitudes necessary to safeguard their future families and co-workers and "to live safer healthier longer lives." (Jim Kaufman, Laboratory Safety Institute)
The world endures solely by virtue of the breath of school
