Health and Wellness in Charlotte Mecklenburg Schools

Over the past months the United Way and You Show has focused on an array of health issues that affect the residents our Charlotte, NC community and what we can all do live healthier lifestyles.

A lack of good nutrition, an unstable home environment or psychological issues are a few factors that affect a student's academic performance, as well as, behavior in school. The Charlotte Mecklenburg School system has many health and wellness initiatives in place to combat these growing issues.
