Nutrition Tools for Schools© (ON) aims to help school communities work through a step-by-step process of creating a healthy school nutrition environment. Practical tools and resources are included to help the school carry out many different activities that support healthy eating in classrooms, schools and within the community external to the school. This whole school approach fits within the comprehensive school health model that many public health units are using to guide their work with schools. Developed as a collaborative venture between several Health Departments, It is currently being used by 33 of the 36 Health Departments in Ontario. The Power Point presentation, included as an attachment below, provides more information on this excellent resource. A wiki dedicated to sharing more about NTS, including implementation and evaluation related efforts, has been established at: http://nutritiontoolsforschools.wetpaint.com/.
