SHAC touts student engagement, mental‑health goals and a grant‑funded 6th‑grade CATCH pilot
Summary
The School Health Advisory Council reported membership growth and program outcomes, recommended piloting the CATCH 6th‑grade health curriculum (grant funded), expanding mental‑health awareness and continuing the Whole Child award that recognized three campuses this meeting.
The School Health Advisory Council co‑chairs presented the group’s annual report and recommendations for 2026–27, highlighting increased membership, student participation on the council, and program successes such as the Kids Heart Challenge fundraising and the new Whole Child award. "So in all that we do with SHAC, we keep the North Star goal at the center of that and how we can best support that," said Lindsay Ledford, assistant athletic director and SHAC co‑chair.
SHAC recommended piloting CATCH (Coordinated Approach to Child Health) for 6th grade at targeted campuses over two years; staff said the curriculum is grant funded and would be integrated into PE with teacher training during district professional development. The council also reported higher participation in movement initiatives, nearly $12,000 returned to PE programs from incentives and plans to expand student membership and mental‑health awareness efforts. Board members praised the committee’s parent partnership and encouraged broader district promotion of SHAC initiatives.
