Blue Zones Project at Three Lakes High School

We just became Blue Zones Project Approved!
What is the Blue Zones Project?
"What began as a New York Times bestseller by National Geographic Fellow Dan Buettner has evolved into a global movement that's inspiring people to live longer more active lives. Blue Zones Project offers a unique opportunity for individuals, organizations, and communities to make permanent changes to the environments where they live, work, and play to make healthy choices easier."

How we are applying this to Three Lakes:
We are encouraging better eating habits, implemented tobacco-free policies, and increasing physical activity with our students. We are focusing on providing students a healthy lifestyle that they can routinely do and keep with them for years to come!
Live a longer, healthier life by applying these principles inspired by the people who have lived the longest.
