"Frankly, you can forget 30 years as a book publisher, working with HealthCorps is by far and away more satisfying and enjoyable that [sic.] anything I ever did in publishing.

"There is nothing like witnessing a positive change in students' attitudes towards healthy foods, the sight of them reading and understanding nutrition labels, or noticing the determination they have to walk more because they want to win the HealthCorps “Healthy Steps” pedometer competition."

Jonathan Prince, Principal, Palm Beach Gardens High School

Schools have become responsible for teaching more than math, how to read and how to write. We teach life skills too.

"Lessons come alive with food demonstrations and tasting, art projects, and classroom physical challenges.Students also seek me out for one-on-one or group dialogues regarding academic advice (i.e. writing, job interviewing skills, and college prep questions) and personal advice (i.e. individual nutrition/fitness plans, sex ed questions, and relationship/friendship issues)."

"I really think you are changing lives and making a difference. We have been waiting for someone like you. I now have more self-esteem and feel good about myself."

Student, Broad Street HS, Shelby MS

Ms. Sanders I am so happy you did the fair for us because I am learning about my health and having fun exercising. We have never had anything like this just for us at this school. Ever since I got here all we have done is nothing but school work; and I think we need things like this here in the area because there are so many obese people. Everything you do Ms.

Teacher, Broad Street HS, Shelby, MS

I was at Wal-Mart shopping for the health fair and one of my students walked up and asked why I had so much food in my basket..."Ms. Sanders I wish there were more people at our school like you and the counselor."
