WELLNESS IN THE SCHOOLS

creating healthier places in which to learn

Goals

To actively engage children in healthy, fun physical activity

To help prevent playground bullying

"One of our priorities is to provide our students with opportunities to learn how to lead a healthy lifestyle, particularly through physical activity. That is why I was so happy to learn about Wellness in the Schools and their “Coach for Kids” model of providing activity coaches during the school day. Our schools are very excited to have a WITS coach and can’t wait to begin. "
