Get Involved With Your School's Wellness Program

Did you know that every school that participates in the National School Lunch or Breakfast Program is required to have a written Wellness Policy?  As parents, it is important that we are aware of the current policies and practices of our schools.  Wellness policies include nutritional and physical activity standards.  Parents can have an impact on setting up wellness policies by giving input to the district and those that are involved in setting up and implementing the policy.  By being involved, parents can make a difference.
