Wellness in the Schools is a national nonprofit teaching children healthy habits to learn, live, and thrive. We partner with public schools, chefs, and coaches to expand access to nourishing food and active play. Our collaborative approach and programming aim to shift the culture of schools to prioritize well-being. Founded in 2005 by Nancy Easton and Bill Telepan, Wellness in the Schools reaches over one million students across over 2,000 U.S. public schools every school day. 

We value the strength of team effort and spirit every step of the way. Our marathon runners will support creating healthy, happy environments for children to learn and grow.
