DISTRICT & COMMUNITY UPDATES

Dear Friend of Wellness:


Can you believe it? Summer is upon us, and next week on June 20th, we will celebrate the summer solstice – the longest day of daylight. Enjoy every moment of it!


A huge congratulations and thank you to everyone who played a part in our recent 'Wellness Celebration & Awards Ceremony.' Again, you can find all the details and assets from this event at the Wellness Promotion Task Force webpage.


Reflecting on our 18-year journey of wellness efforts within our District and community, it is clear that teamwork has been instrumental in achieving great results. Together, we have paved a path filled with purpose and legacy, guided by the District's Wellness Promotion Policy (2.035). Your ongoing commitment since its inception in 2006, through various adoptions throughout the years, and the latest policy development input this school year, has made a significant impact on the lives of our students and staff. Thank you for being part of this invaluable effort.


Looking ahead, it is crucial that we continue to strengthen our Whole School, Whole Community, Whole Child (WSCC) model, aligning it closely with our core beliefs and priorities. As we gear up for the 2024-2025 school year, let us unite to make our District and community stronger than ever.


Our WPTF Newsletter will be back in September 2024, and we are excited to kick off the new school year by collaborating on the 10 WSCC components with you.


We wish you a beautiful summer filled with joy and plenty of fun activities.


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 ~
