Student Wellness

 How Can Parents and Families Engage in Health and Wellness?

• Join your school's wellness team and/or help to promote more health & wellness offerings at your school
• Step up as the PTO/PTA liaison for the health and wellness team
• Encourage your schools to include "healthy homework" and family wellness ideas in newsletters for families to do together: go on a family mindfulness hike, cook a family home-cooked meal one time/week, ask what your student did in PE/recess this week and play the game at home, sample fruit/veg that starts with letter of the week, etc.
• Encourage and brainstorm new ways to promote healthy reward choices in lieu of non-food rewards at your school
• Visit at lunch and help promote the salad bar and "cheer on" healthy choices
• Assist with before/after school wellness programs or play games with kids at recess
• Help to organize a Family Fitness Night
