Mississippi Governor Phil Bryant signs Healthy Schools Day Proclamation in the state of Mississippi in honor of National Healthy Schools Day, April 30, 2013.    Children's Environmental Protection Alliance (Children's EPA) and Children's EPA Director Nancy Swan sponsored this proclamation.

Mississippi governors have signed Healthy Schools Day Proclamations for the last four consecutive years, endorsing the EPA Tools for Schools Program and healthy indoor air quality and safe environmental and chemical practices in all Mississippi schools.  Please thank Governor Bryant.

For ten years parents, teachers, school nurses, custodians, advocates, and agencies have promoted National Healthy Schools Day activities nationwide. Whether you are at the beginning stages of investigating school environments or have an established Indoor Air/Environmental Quality program, we invite you to host a local activity that educates others and celebrates your school’s successes.

National Healthy Schools Day is coordinated by Healthy Schools Network in cooperation with US EPA and promotes the use of EPA's IAQ Tools for Schools guidance as well as other EPA environmental health guidelines and programs for schools and children’s health--  Healthy Schools Network
