FARMINGTON — Let’s Go! recently announced that 17 schools, 13 school cafeterias, eight out-of-school programs, 16 child care programs and seven health care practices in Franklin County are being recognized for their positive impact on children’s health.

A total of 48 sites are proactively implementing Let’s Go!’s evidence-based strategies with the goal of increasing daily healthy habits. Let’s Go! Franklin County presented sites with recognition certificates Nov. 8 at Franklin Memorial Hospital in Farmington.

Let’s Go! sites are instilling a positive relationship with food and an enthusiasm for healthy choices — 100 percent of Franklin County’s Let’s Go! Child care and out-of-school care sites provide opportunities to be active every day and limit sugary drinks. More than half of Let’s Go! sites in the county are limiting unhealthy foods, limiting recreational screen time and prohibiting use of food as a reward.
