Health & Wellness Meeting Notes The Health & Wellness Committee met on May 12, 2006 at 2:45 p.m. A copy of the policy was presented to each member and discussion followed. The policy is to be adopted as a Board policy in June. Recommendations and discussion concerning the policy centered around the following: limiting the volume of candy and soda sold in the vending machines, the necessity of taking an accurate lunch count, encouraging healthy alternatives to traditional birthday treats and finally, how to introduce the wellness policy to both the staff and students in August. Heather Bearnes and Arik Diediker were asked and have agreed to join the committee as student committee members. The Health & Wellness Committee will meet again on Thursday, May 18 at 2:00 in Mrs. Thies’ room to further discuss how to introduce the adopted policy to students and staff next fall. |
