Offering a school award is an opportunity to recognize schools that are working hard to support their students in choosing healthy foods and beverages.

The Drop the Pop school award will:

• Recognize targeted, collaborative and innovative efforts of schools that promote healthy eating and healthy drink choices for students;
• Recognize school initiatives that encourage and celebrate healthy eating for students;
• Gather information about great projects that have been successful in order to share these successes with other schools.

To be eligible for a school award (based on school population), your school must complete and return the Drop the Pop Activity Report Form by March 19, 2010.

Three school awards will be awarded this year.  Your school needs to apply to be eligible.  There will be:

One prize of $1500 for schools with up to 100 students

One prize of $2000 for schools with between 101 and 200 students

One prize of $2500 for schools with more than 200 students.
