Middleton's Northside Elementary School was one of 27 schools in the state to earn the Silver Award in the 2008 Governor's School Health Awards program.
First lady Jessica Doyle and State Superintendent of Public Instruction Elizabeth Burmaster announced the winners on Thursday.
"These awards recognize schools for developing and maintaining quality school health programs, and for involving parents and the community to improve the long-term health of the students," Burmaster said.
"Healthier students support healthier communities, which in turn support a healthier Wisconsin," Doyle said.
