YOUR STUDENT’S SCHOOL WANTS YOUR HELP

What is SkoolzRulez?

The SkoolzRulez campaign is a national effort encouraging parents and caregivers to become more engaged in school wellness activities and programs at the local level. 

Schools are already doing so much to help our students, but school wellness efforts are most successful when parents, caregivers, and the community work with the school to create a healthy and safe learning environment that all students deserve.
