Wellness advisory committee reports partnerships, bake-sale guidance and play-ambassador plans
Summary
Nicole reported the wellness advisory committee discussed Board of Health bake-sale guidance, AED/CPR partnership possibilities, library health-literacy programs and a 'play ambassadors' initiative pairing older students with younger ones on playgrounds.
Nicole, the school committee vice chair and a member of the wellness advisory committee, described highlights from the committee's quarterly meeting: the Board of Health's new bake-sale guidance (posted on the town website), potential AED/CPR training collaborations with other town departments, library-driven youth mental‑health material distribution, and the continuation of a 'play ambassadors' program connecting high‑school and middle‑school students to support positive playground interactions.
"We talked a lot about partnerships," Nicole said, noting that library services are experimenting with distributing wellness information and running health-focused book clubs. The update emphasized community partnerships that reinforce school efforts on student well-being and noted that some initiatives (such as play ambassadors) are still moving forward more slowly because guidance counselors are busy during college-application season.
