In 2001, the Platte County Health Department took the Healthy Kids Challenge (HKC), the nation’s leading school-based health initiative, encouraging children and families to make healthy eating and physical activity a lifetime habit.

The Platte County Health Department & HKC have provided training for elementary and middle school Teachers, Nurses, Food Service Workers, and community leaders. Interactive workshops provide creative ideas designed to link schools, communities, families, and kids together to create healthier environments.

The 2008 Platte County Teacher Workshop was held on
Thursday, October 16th at Saint Luke’s Northland Hospital Conference Center. The workshop targeted Kindergarten to Grade 3 classroom Teachers.
