What did you LEARN in today?

Instead of asking kids what they played in Physical Education, try asking what they learned.

Movement skills, teamwork, problem-solving, fitness concepts and confidence are all part of quality physical education.

September is National Family Meals Month!

Family meals don’t have to be fancy or even happen at dinner. Breakfast before school, sandwiches after practice, or Saturday lunch around the table all count.

This month, we’ll share simple ways to make food, movement and connection part of everyday family life.

What meal is easiest for your family to eat together?

Today, we join so many others in mourning the loss of Dolly Parton. ❤️

Dolly’s legacy reaches far beyond the stage. Through her music, kindness, generosity, and lifelong commitment to helping others, she touched generations of families. Her Imagination Library alone placed millions of books into the hands of young children and helped make reading and learning more accessible to families around the world. She was a true "book lady" to many.

At HEAL United, we believe deeply in investing in children and giving them opportunities to grow, learn, and thrive. Dolly Parton spent a lifetime doing exactly that.

We are grateful for the joy she gave the world and the difference she made in the lives of so many.
