School presents wellness goals; two full‑time mental‑health providers hired with grant support
Summary
Staff presented three wellness goals—nutrition education, increased physical activity, and more wellness events—and said two Spanish‑speaking full‑time mental‑health providers were hired using grant funds through December and will be funded thereafter through internal adjustments.
Katie Foster (S15) presented the local school wellness goals adopted under board policy 50‑30: integrate nutrition education into curriculum, increase student physical activity, and host more wellness events. She said the school will use its garden program and curricular ties to teach nutrition and plans lunchtime wellness fairs and substance‑use prevention groups.
Foster said the school will be the beneficiary of two full‑time Spanish‑speaking mental‑health providers funded by a federal grant through December and that staff are planning to reallocate internal funds to continue supporting those positions beyond the grant period. "For sure, we'll be funded this year," she said, describing the hires as a priority for student mental‑health support.
