Summary
This study looks at a program called Healthy School Recognized Campus, which helps schools in Texas offer more physical activity and nutrition programs to students. About 900 kids in grades 4 through 9 will take part. Researchers want to see if the program improves kids' health, like body mass index and fruit/vegetable intake, and if schools find it easy and useful to run.
