In This School District, Health and Wellness Start With Teachers

The North Allegheny School District in Pittsburgh has long focused on the health and wellness of its students. But district leaders noticed some alarming trends in the health of its staff. The revelation set off an initiative to support educators in adopting healthy lifestyles, including a challenge to participate on relay teams in a local marathon. This year dozens of educators put on their running shoes and began training for the event, and saw a range of benefits as a result.
