Please join us the week of April 22-26, 2019 for Every Kid Healthy & W.A.T.C.H. Prevention Week! We invite you to support and collaborate with Mahanay, in encouraging our children to make healthier life choices to prevent chronic diseases.
- Every Kid Healthy Week shines a spotlight on the great efforts schools are making to improve the health and wellness of their students and the link between nutrition, physical activity, and learning – because healthy kids are better prepared to learn!
