A Note from the Wellness Committee
Since its inaugural meeting on October 11, 2021, the Wellness Committee has convened each fall and once in the spring to review and update our district’s wellness policy. At these October sessions in the Elementary conference room, members introduce new participants, review our assessment tool, and brainstorm strategies—such as wellness walks, healthier snack options in vending machines and concession stands, and potential school-store initiatives—to promote student health each year.
Our spring meetings focus on reporting progress toward goals. Highlights include rolling out smarter PBIS snack selections, launching “Caring Corner” hygiene stations outside the nurse’s office, exploring Girls on the Run programming with PTO support, and upgrading water filling stations and recess equipment storage.
Meetings start promptly (typically at 11 am) and adjourn in under an hour once next steps are set. We welcome students, parents and community members to attend and partner with us as we continue to build a culture of health and wellness district-wide.
