Three more Somerville elementary schools have achieved HealthierUS status, joining the ranks of an elite group of 624 schools (out of 66,000 eligible elementary schools) recognized nationally for health, nutrition and fitness excellence.
Dr. Albert F. Argenziano School at Lincoln Park (Gold), Arthur D. Healey School (Bronze) and West Somerville Neighborhood School (Bronze) will be recognized nationally at a special school assembly on Thursday, January 14.
To date, only eight schools in Massachusetts have achieved HealthierUS status; half of these are public elementary schools in Somerville. The Argenziano, Healy and West Somerville Neighborhood Schools join Somerville’s Winter Hill Community School, which attained Silver certification in the HealthierUS School Challenge in 2008.
