The Coordinated School Health Team consists of a team of faculty, staff and parents. We collaborate with the school’s food service program, the air quality program, physical education teachers and the community. We meet monthly to discuss health concerns within our schools. Our mission is to support and encourage healthy practices surrounding nutrition, fitness, general health and environmental health.

One of the recent activities we have promoted is Walk at Lunch Day. Even with inclement weather we had a large number of students and staff taking the time to enjoy a healthy walk. The team also sends out health tips to the staff on Monday mornings. In order to promote healthy beverages we replaced all the high sugar content beverages in our vending machines with more healthy options. Our most recent venture has been Healthy First Friday’s. On the first Friday of each month we invite guests, during our school lunch period, to set up a table display with educational information. This has been very well received by students and staff. We hope to continue with this program next year.
