Governor’s Nutrition and Physical Activity Scorecard
The Governor's Nutrition and Physical Activity Scorecard recognizes and rewards schools for encouraging healthy habits. The Web-based Scorecard application allows schools to compete locally and on a statewide level to see which school is healthiest. Points are awarded according to their implementation of best practices, including:

Providing a minimum of 30 minutes daily recess that promotes physical activity;
Encouraging middle and high school students to design their own individualized exercise plans;
Creating school- and community-based Fitness or Nutrition Nights;
Allowing only foods which meet minimum nutritional standards to be provided or sold during the school day; and
Selling only 100% fruit juice, water, or low-fat milk.

Schools earn points by completing the scorecard and – if their scores qualify them – they receive a Gold, Silver, or Bronze award for exemplary health practices.
