Hillcrest Elementary

It's easy to become a Gold Medal School!!!

Most of the schools report that they are doing most, if not all, of the Bronze criteria already, including:

  • A policy requiring 90 minutes of structured physical activity each week
  • Teach the Health Education Core Curriculum
  • Establish a Gold Medal Mile around school grounds with a goal for student participation
  • A policy promoting Safe Routes to School
  • A policy mandating a Tobacco-Free School
  • Complete the Utah School Heart Health Surveys

Just for completing these criteria your school will earn $200 to be used for physical activity, nutrition, or tobacco prevention resources.

You can achieve just the Bronze level, or move onto any of the other levels... It's up to you!
