1.63 million students are still using e-cigarettes.

Prevention isn’t just about information anymore. It’s about influence.

We’re hosting a short session on how districts are using our Students-Teach-Students approach in CATCH My Breath to drive real change in engagement and school culture.

If you’re working in prevention or education, this is a conversation worth joining.

For over 30 years, CATCH has set the gold standard in primary prevention. Grounded in our framework, a Coordinated Approach to Child Health, our PreK-12 programs translate peer-reviewed science and best practices into actionable success for classrooms and districts.

Our evidence-based programs are proven to establish long-lasting healthy habits and prevent chronic disease—because we know that when children are healthy, they thrive.

This World Health Day, is a reminder that scientific validation is the foundation of impact. In our schools, this means implementing programs that are backed by research, but are also intentionally built for the realities of the modern classroom.

CATCH is grounded in peer-reviewed science and designed to be teacher-ready, with structured, easy-to-implement lessons that support consistent student engagement. When educators are equipped with evidence-based tools that work in practice, students are empowered to build healthy habits and reach their full academic potential.

When we support students wholly, not just their test scores, we provide a better opportunity for a lifetime of success. Thank you, Illinois, for recognizing that student wellness is an essential prerequisite for academic thriving.

Students are much more likely to try new healthy things when they see their friends leading the way! Port Aransas recently put this into practice by creating a competition for students to design a school-wide lunch menu.

The winning team, "The Gouda Life," didn't just pick their favorite foods. They studied nutrition guidelines, ingredients, and safety rules to create a Backyard BBQ theme that a panel of judges found impressive.

The result? Record-breaking cafeteria participation and students excited about healthy eating.

This is the Whole-Child approach in action: building a community where students feel empowered to embrace healthy choices alongside their peers.

Thank you for all you do Port Aransas ISD! Read the full article published locally by Port Aransas South Jetty here: https://www.portasouthjetty.com/articles/student-created-menus-big-hit-at-oes/

Spring is a season of renewal, and it’s a beautiful time to refresh the routines that support our well-being. Healthy habits do not need to be dramatic to make a difference. Small, consistent actions can bloom into lasting well-being. Here are a few ideas to refresh the mind, reconnect the heart, and re-energize the body.

For every educator, a child with a toothache isn’t just a health concern; it's a critical learning barrier.

The impact of tooth decay, a preventable chronic disease, shows up in the classroom as lost instructional time, difficulty concentrating, and decreased participation. Integrating oral health curriculum early in life is a foundational in reducing health-related absenteeism, and establishing the lifelong habits that support a child’s success.

You have enough on your plate. CATCH Healthy Smiles (PreK-2) is designed to turn this evidence into classroom action without adding to your workload. Free, low-prep lessons that are fun and give your students the tools to protect their bright smiles.

Today is a moment for our team to reflect on how our organization improves student health outcomes. The "how" behind our impact isn't just our programs; it’s the incredible communities we partner with and the unique individuals who take leadership into their own hands to champion student health. Every school community operates differently, but we've seen time and time again that when health in mind, heart, and body are prioritized, youth are better equipped to succeed and communities find great joy in the journey.

In the spirit of appreciation, our team wanted to highlight a few of the standout partners we’re honored to support: Brighter Bites, Indiana Department of Health, CalFresh Healthy Living, UCCE Fresno-Madera County, Mission CISD, Mesquite ISD, Humble Independent School District, Eastern Idaho Public Health, Kash Aleem, Montclair State University, Southern Illinois University Carbondale, The Rapides Foundation
