Resources
APPLE Schools aim to make the healthy choice the easy choice by changing the school environments. We help to create and sustain supportive physical and social environments that foster lifelong health and learning. Home, school, and community work together to improve a child's health. We involve parents, students, staff, and community stakeholders to impact students' knowledge, skills, attitudes, and behaviours.
