The USD 281 Wellness Committee is working on several goals this year related to nutrition education, physical activity, and integrated school wellness. Our goal for nutrition education is to provide families information about health and nutrition at least once per semester. For now, we will just share fun facts and tips through Facebook and our web site. Someday we hope to provide an annual Family, Food, and Fitness night.
We know that families are extremely busy and we don't want to overwhelm you with unnecessary information. However, wellness is an important aspect of school and family life and we hope that you are able to maybe apply one or two tips when we share them.
More information regarding our wellness policies can be found here: https://www.usd281.com/o/graham-co…/…/wellness-committee--14
