Educators
About NV 5210 and how to get involved
As educators, whether in Early Care and Education (ECE) settings or K-12 schools, you play a crucial role in fostering healthy habits among students. You help to shape lifelong behaviors that contribute to good health, and schools are structured environments where healthy habits can seamlessly integrate into students’ daily lives.
Awareness of these simple steps can make a huge impact on students’ lives. Help by spreading the word about NV 5-2-1-0 and displaying the 4-step poster in your classroom or in common student gathering places, such as the main office, library, or cafeteria. By establishing healthy behaviors as the norm, providing access to nutritious meals, and leveraging positive peer influence, educators like you can foster a culture of wellness and empower students of all ages to lead healthy, fulfilling lives.
