For
ten years parents, teachers, school
nurses, custodians,
advocates, and agencies have promoted
National Healthy Schools Day activities
nationwide. Whether you are at the beginning
stages of investigating school environments
or have an established Indoor Air/Environmental
Quality program, we invite you to

a local activity that educates others
and celebrates your school’s

National Healthy

of the most effective steps to improve
their schools' indoor air quality in
the nation.
