COMMITTEE

Proposal

Terrace elementary school wellness committee proposal for 2020-2021 school year

After careful observation of the current wellness program at Terrace, it is important to set a solid foundation for the future. We at Kern Family Health Care recommend that Terrace Elementary form a school wellness committee. This committee will ensure advocacy for continuation of this program.

Why is it important to have a wellness committee:

Your school can pioneer the development and review of wellness policies at the local and state level.
The committee can promote community and professional involvement.
You will be in a position to advocate policies for school health programs, leverage funding, and resources for clubs and school projects.
Members of the committee would evaluate efforts and provide feedback on nutrition education, physical activity, and staff wellness to the school and the school district.

Functions of the wellness committee:

Carry out health and wellness assessments.
Strengthen the current school wellness program.
Introduce policies that impact the overall wellbeing of students and staff.
Set goals for school wellness efforts.

Who can get involved with the committee:

6 to 12 dedicated members.
School nurses, students, and parents.
Student wellness advocates like cafeteria staff, custodians, and maintenance workers.
Community partners such as local farmers, the Home Depot, Walmart, and other local businesses.
Others include the health department, local coalitions, parks and recreation, as well as local youth-serving organizations.

What qualifies participants:

Have a passion for kids' health and overall wellness.
Participating businesses should have a positive influence on youth.
Have the ability to delegate tasks to others effectively.

Committee meetings:

The committee will meet quarterly to construct a team, set goals for the school year, give updates on achievements, review action plans, identify solutions, as well as celebrate successes, and plan for the upcoming school year.

Instructions:

Please see attached wellness committee survey to share your input and make pledges for support.
