School Health Advisory Council outlines nutrition, mental health and durable‑skills goals
Summary
The council reported community events and proposed three goals: monthly nutrition education, expanded use of health partners in programming, and emphasis on durable skills (emotional intelligence, respect, perseverance, critical thinking).
Miss Durham reported on the School Health Advisory Council’s activities over the past year and presented proposed goals for the coming year, which the board received without objection.
Highlights included FASA training for community stakeholders, wellness fairs (student fair and community events), and a middle-school fun day that offered sessions on mental health, sleep, nutrition, CPR, fire safety and digital well‑being. Attendance figures and outreach results were shared in the board packet.
The council proposed three primary goals: 1) promote monthly topical nutrition education using signage, menus and social media and host at least one community event per year; 2) incorporate outside health agencies in programming and continue partnerships (e.g., Insight programming cited in the packet); and 3) expand instruction in durable skills across grade levels with secondary adjustments for months/topics (emotional intelligence, respect, good judgment, perseverance, critical thinking and personal responsibility).
Board members praised the work and asked clarifying questions about scheduling and outreach to parents; Miss Durham said the next meeting is planned for the fall.
