Promoting healthier lifestyles for local students.

The Monroe Owen County Medical Society (MOCMS) believes that a significant way to improve the overall health of our community is by providing kids with healthy-living educational opportunities at school and encouraging follow-through at home.

To advance this initiative, MOCMS developed the Healthy Schools Grant program to support Monroe and Owen County teachers and administrators in their efforts to offer K-12 students healthy living choices, including physical fitness and healthy eating activities.

We enjoy facilitating healthy habits in our community schools and our grant review process is one of the most rewarding times of the year. We extend an invitation to all Indiana schools in Monroe and Owen County to apply for the Healthy Schools Grant.

While we do our best to contact all local principals and educators, please feel free to share this information with appropriate staff and project directors and remind them about the MOCMS Healthy Schools Grant program.
