Currently Footprints is working with Lincoln, Schofield, South Mountain, St. Anne, Stettin, and Weston Elementary schools to pool ideas and create healthy eating and active living opportunities for the residents of the school neighborhoods and families whose children attend the schools.

Elements of the program include family activities and education, participation in the Active Family Challenge, and building a Safe Routes to School program.  Activities implemented by the schools include family fun nights, bring a healthy snack days, after school activity and nutrition programs, walk to school days, and bike and pedestrian safety assemblies.
