Attached you will find the membership agreement and by-laws for the Nebraska Whole Child Project.  The NCSA is working with the NASB to form this interlocal organization to address student health and wellness. Your participation is important in this initiative.  This project will attempt to facilitate "best practices" for student health and wellness.  Also, we will try to solicit private sector funds that will be used to help schools collect fitness data, which can then be used to adopt policies and procedures to increase student fitness and lower student obesity.
