Dear Chrissy,
Thank you for enrolling your school in the Healthy Champions Program for the 2022/2023 academic year. This score report will provide you with information about your school's Star Status. Your school's Star Status is based on the information provided in the Healthy Champions enrollment, which also acts as a School Wellness Assessment.
Ben Franklin Elementary School has obtained a Healthy Champion 5 Star Status for the 2022/2023 program year.
Your school is among 30% of over 500 enrolled schools that have achieved a Healthy Champion 5 Star Status. Schools could obtain a maximum of five stars. Based on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention School Health Guidelines for goals and strategies to prevent obesity, schools were awarded "stars" based on answers to questions in the following categories: nutrition and physical activity, psychological and social services, school health environment, and health and wellness policy.
We want to assist your school in enhancing the school wellness environment in future years. Based on the specific results of YOUR Healthy Champion online enrollment, we suggest focusing on instituting changes to make improvements in any category with a score of "3 stars" or below. In the chart below you can view the score your school received in each category.
