On this Memorial Day, the department pauses to honor the brave who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our nation. Their courage and dedication embody the values we strive to uphold in our schools and communities across Tennessee. We encourage all Tennesseans to reflect on the legacy of those who served and to recognize the families who carry their memory forward.

Last week, the Department hosted the 19th Annual CSH Institute, bringing together 700 district and school leaders from across the state to collaborate and strengthen the connection between health, well-being, and student success. Leaders were also recognized for their outstanding efforts in connecting health and well-being to academics. The event concluded with an inspiring conversation featuring CMA and ACM award-winning artist Tracy Lawrence, his wife Becca, and the team behind Mission: Possible.

Great work happening at REL!
The department's Division of Coordinated School Health worked with @RELtullahoma in @TCSPublic to develop a spotlight video showcasing the exemplary work happening that supported their recognition as Tennessee's only All-Star recognized school by the Alliance for a Healthier Generation. Take a look! youtu.be/g2QNow1msbA?si=HVDMโ€ฆ

Powerful event! Kudos to the Bledsoe Co. team for always going above and beyond for their kids. Thank you, First Lady Lee, for your dedication to serve Tennesseans through your TN Serves initiative! So glad we could join in and serve.
TN Serves and @Samaritans_Feet distributed nearly 2,000 new pairs of shoes to students in Bledsoe Co. Hope abounded throughout Bledsoe High School & Bledsoe Middle School as we heard an inspiring message from @MannyOhonme & witnessed a spirit of joy throughout the schools.
