The R.E.A.C.H. Box is an initiative of the NWHU Joint Planning for Schools Team to provide educators with easy access to curriculum resources for school-based promotion of healthy living.

Many of the resources in the REACH Box are linked to OPHEA Healthy Active Living Standards in Physical and Health Education in Ontario, to encourage and enable healthy living promotion by school educators. The REACH Box is updated annually at the beginning of the school year. It is located in the library or staff room of every school in the district.
