Data were collected through indepth interviews and observations. The data were analyzed by using qualitative analysis of Miles, Huberman, and Saldana. This study reveals that SD 2 Sanden and SD 2 Gadingharjo have been able to develop a clean and healthy life according to healthy school standards, they were able to provide facilities according to standards, providing nutritious healthy food, creating a healthy, clean, and conducive environment, providing counselling, and having effective waste management.
