As students return to class after summer break, getting back into healthy habits from the start can lead to a year of more success. Shape Your Future, a program of the Tobacco Settlement Endowment Trust (TSET), has free resources for teachers, children and parents need to start the year off on the right foot.

Shape Your Future provides Oklahoma teachers with free classroom posters shipped at no cost to local schools, grade-specific worksheets, information on local grant opportunities, seasonal classroom activity guides, helpful blogs and more. Everything can be found throughout the school year a syfok.com/teachers.

“We want to ensure Oklahoma families and teachers are equipped to start the school year off with healthy routines and options,” said Julie Bisbee, TSET Executive Director. “Making simple healthy choices has a positive impact in our families, classrooms and helps set our students up for success.”
