Imagine what your school community would look like if everyone were supported in mind, heart, and body. If this process didn’t add unnecessary work to your load and...actually felt fun? At CATCH, our PreK-12 health education programs are continually evolving to meet teachers, public health professionals, and community health leaders where they are.

We understand communities are often operating with limited time, staffing, and funding. That's why we focus on evidence-based practices, active engagement and easy implementation, as well as sustained support from our team of experts.

Getting started with CATCH is simple. Let us know a little bit about your community, and we’ll connect you with the right person to support your team’s success. https://catch.org/contact-us/

Simple habits are often the ones that stick.

At CATCH, we spend a lot of time thinking about what actually works in real classrooms. Programs like Ray and the Sunbeatables are designed to fit into everyday school routines. Asynchronous training is available to support educators, and ready-to-use lessons help students create healthy habits they can carry beyond the classroom.

With a great partner like UT MD Anderson Cancer Center alongside us, this program is both evidence-based and free for schools to use. We've seen it work well in afterschool programs and summer camp settings as well.

After all, skin cancer is the most common cancer in the United States and worldwide, and most skin cancer is highly preventable!

A huge thank you to the hundreds of educators and public health professionals who joined us for our webinar yesterday, "When Students Lead, Prevention Works." This reinforced our understanding that whether you're in a small rural school district or one of the largest in the country, student leadership is key to a vape-free, healthy future.

After two years of co-developing and piloting our CATCH My Breath Students-Teach-Students model with Eastern Idaho Public Health, we are proud to share the results. By empowering students to lead, we aren't just teaching a curriculum, we are fostering an environment where prevention actually sticks.

Missed the live session? We’ll be sharing the recording soon. In the meantime, join our next training on June 16th to bring this model to your community! https://www.tickettailor.com/events/catchmybreath

For over 30 years, CATCH has set the gold standard in primary prevention. Grounded in our framework, a Coordinated Approach to Child Health, our PreK-12 programs translate peer-reviewed science and best practices into actionable success for classrooms and districts.

Our evidence-based programs are proven to establish long-lasting healthy habits and prevent chronic disease—because we know that when children are healthy, they thrive.

This World Health Day, is a reminder that scientific validation is the foundation of impact. In our schools, this means implementing programs that are backed by research, but are also intentionally built for the realities of the modern classroom.

CATCH is grounded in peer-reviewed science and designed to be teacher-ready, with structured, easy-to-implement lessons that support consistent student engagement. When educators are equipped with evidence-based tools that work in practice, students are empowered to build healthy habits and reach their full academic potential.

When we support students wholly, not just their test scores, we provide a better opportunity for a lifetime of success. Thank you, Illinois, for recognizing that student wellness is an essential prerequisite for academic thriving.

Students are much more likely to try new healthy things when they see their friends leading the way! Port Aransas recently put this into practice by creating a competition for students to design a school-wide lunch menu.

The winning team, "The Gouda Life," didn't just pick their favorite foods. They studied nutrition guidelines, ingredients, and safety rules to create a Backyard BBQ theme that a panel of judges found impressive.

The result? Record-breaking cafeteria participation and students excited about healthy eating.

This is the Whole-Child approach in action: building a community where students feel empowered to embrace healthy choices alongside their peers.

Thank you for all you do Port Aransas ISD! Read the full article published locally by Port Aransas South Jetty here: https://www.portasouthjetty.com/articles/student-created-menus-big-hit-at-oes/
