About

At the Harlem Children's Zone and Promise Academy Charter Schools creating a healthy nutrition environment, community wellness, and health are some of our top priorities. Many of our programs support wellness in some way. Certain programs tackle these issues specifically like our community garden, nutrition education, and fitness programs.

This blog is part of the Harlem Childrens Zone's efforts to promote healthy eating and active living in our community. Find out more about our commitment to create a healthy nutrition and fitness environment by reading:
