Dear Friend of Wellness:

Happy New Year...let us step into this 2022 gently and carefully so that our outcomes can be successful. By doing so, our District's focus on embracing and promoting the Whole School, Whole Community, Whole Child culture everyday will maintain its positive traction and movement.

Due to the current health circumstances and a careful assessment of our business, we are planning on canceling the two future planned Wellness Promotion Task Force (WPTF) meetings (February 24th and April 21st) and consolidating these two meetings into only one WPTF post-school VIRTUAL Celebration. This decision was made to allow for the greatest support to our schools in these unpredictable times.

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 ~
