Dear Friend of Wellness:
Happy Valentines…let us embrace and honor LOVE wherever we are and celebrate enduring relationships with friends, co-workers, family, and humanity as a whole by showing affection, care, respect, and mutual concern for one another.
We are proud to recently have had the FY23 Wellness Promotion Policy Annual Report approved by the School Board Members at their meeting on January 17th. This robust annual report continues to successfully showcase our internal and external collaboration amongst many stakeholders, as well as the District’s progress around the Whole School, Whole Community, Whole Child (WSCC) model. We thank everyone that invest in making this WSCC model successful at all levels of practice.
Let's keep pressing on and...
Never Give UP!
Continue being a beacon of LIGHT for all the children and each other...
let's grow STRONGER together!
~ Be healthy and safe ~
