A
So
the
checklist
has
areas
in
nutrition,
physical
activity,
classroom
activities,
after-school
activities,
community
partnerships,
parent
involvement
and
all
of
the
activities
have
to
focus
around
the
well-being
of
the
whole
child.
Getting
our
students,
our
families,
teachers,
parents,
everybody
at
the
school
to
be
more
aware
of
how
our
health
and
our
nutrition,
our
physical
activity,
impacts
the
entire
culture
of
the
school
and
overall
academic
achievement.
The.
B
We've
been
involved
with
the
MSC
Boeing
Center
for
children's
wellness
for
the
last
several
years,
and
we
really
have
taken
the
checklist
that
they
provide,
which
is
a
great
jumping-off
point
to
encourage
health
and
wellness
and
students,
and
we
really
look
at
it
from
what
does
our
community
need?
What
do
our
students
need
and
our
families?
Our
committee
takes
it
from
a
standpoint
of
let's
help
get
their
basic
needs
met.
Let's
make
sure
they're
hydrated.
B
Let's
make
sure
they
are
getting
nutrition,
that
they're
not
going
home
hungry
or
they
have
access
to
food
if
they're
home
and
don't
have
transportation
to
get
to
grocery
stores.
So
we
do
a
food
bank.
We
do
resources
for
our
families
to
help
them
to
get
what
they
need.
We
do
educational
wellness
themed
days
throughout
the
year
so
that
we
can
teach
our
students
and
our
families
to
get
involved
and
take
this
as
not
just
something
we
talk
about
once
in
a
while,
but
something
we
ingrained
in
ourselves
to
change
our
culture.
