"Lately teachers and administrators have been coming up to me to report their good health habits. Mrs. Debra Hines told me that when she rewarded her math students, she usually gave them candy. Now she decided to buy a healthier prize, apples and cheese, and her students responded just as positively to the healthy snack as the candy.”"Omolade Alawode, HealthCorps Coordinator, Thomas McKean High School Wilmington, DE-October, 2010

At the Open House the parents insisted on getting involved in the HealthCorps Club. A lot of them signed students up and made their kids promise they would tell them everything that they learned in the program. Sumaiya Sarwar, Health Coordinator, Laurel High School, Laurel, MD – October 2010

"I'm a teacher at Florida Virtual School. I just got off the phone with one of our mutual students, [Maria], a senior. One of her assignments is to create her own interest group and she focused on Health and Fitness. She shared how passionate she is about this topic, all stemming from the HealthCorps program that you started at your school. I encouraged her to look into a career path for her new passion." Ashley Carbone, American Government Instructor, Florida Virtual School. (Sent to HealthCorps from Freedom High School Principal Christopher Farkas)
