Healthy School Communities

Des Moines Municipal School

 

 

Located in an isolated rural area, Des Moines Municipal School (DMMS) in Des Moines, N. Mex., offers health and wellness resources to the underserved local community. As part of the Rural Revitalization Initiative and ASCD's Healthy School Communities, DMMS provides school-based physical, dental, and mental health care for students, staff, and surrounding communities. Programs like the Fruit Wizard make daily classroom deliveries of fresh fruits and vegetables to compensate for limited access to fresh produce in Des Moines. At DMMS, "The school is the community, and the community is the school."
