This webcast is part of the Children's Health Month 2006: Promoting Healthy School Environments
Children spend a significant portion of their time in schoolsmore than in any other environment other than their homes. Childrens Health Month is a perfect opportunity to learn more about improving the health of your school environments. View information from EPA on healthy school environments.
To celebrate Childrens Health Month 2006, EPAs Office of Childrens Health Protection and Environmental Education (OCHPEE) is planning a series of webcasts on topics related to healthy school environments. During the webcasts, participants are connected through the telephone and an internet connection on the computer and will be able to participate in the discussion and ask questions of the speakers. OCHPEE has developed a list of EPA publications on healthy school environments that are available for download or to order as well as a calendar with a children's environmental health tip for every day in October.
