Committee updates: wellness subcommittees, community partners and sign-ups

The meeting included committee announcements and introductions from community partners and district staff, who described upcoming work on a wellness policy, subcommittee sign-ups and planning for PTSD awareness and student engagement events.

Brett Nado, identified in the packet as the resident district manager for Sodexo, introduced Sodexo team members and encouraged vendor partnerships. "My name is Brett Nado. I'm your resident district manager for Sodexo," he said. Several community partners introduced themselves, including Robert Rustigba (culinary director for Providence Health Schools), Tyrone Stevens (identified as president of the Providence School Board), Angel Lopez (self-identified as a Providence resident and alumnus), Pamela Capulli (community prevention coordinator at Day 1) and Mark Kirby (public health representative).

Committee members reviewed the structure of the Health & Wellness committee and its subcommittees (nutrition, preschool activity and physical activity), and organizers asked attendees to review wellness policy documents distributed in the meeting packet and to sign up using a Google Form. One committee member described ongoing planning for PTSD awareness programming and reconvening student cohorts for spring outreach; organizers said details remain in development. "In your packet, there's a form that you would like to join 1 of the subcommittees," one speaker said while circulating sign-up materials.
