Wellness Program
Our district promotes daily habits that support student health and learning. We encourage nutritious eating with wholesome meals, healthy snacks, and water or other low-sugar drinks. Classrooms incorporate “brain breaks” and movement activities to help students recharge and stay focused. Together, these simple choices build the foundation for a strong body, an active mind, and a positive school day.
