Healthy School Environment
The Wellness Committee and Green Committee gives staff members opportunities to engage in opportunities to eat healthy. The Wellness Committee sponsors monthly activities with "healthy" or "healthier" options, from taking a walk outside to trying new foods.
The Green Committee organized staff participation in a local CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) at the Wheeler Farm, just a few miles away for fall of 2018.
