Tuesday, May 10, 2016
Live reporting: School Wellness Advisory Committee (SWAC)
Was the wellness committee
It is a standing committee, multiple parties represented
we set goals and have tangible progress each year
Page 4 - role/requirements of group
Page 5 - three goals set in mental health, physical activity and nutrition
the guidance update provided at a prior School Committee meeting reflects some of the details of the goals achieved
over 200 in ski program during winter
expanding implementation of breakfast to all the schools, one at a time
school gardens growing, raised beds at some of the schools
hydroponic garden at Parmenter growing lettuce, chard, and tomatoes
84.5% of the students on grades 6-12 responded to the wellness survey
21.5% of the parents, and 51.8% of the faculty
Key findings, parents are not always aware of what is going on in the schools
need to do a better job of communicating and sharing the information (Page 15)
"While you have spoken to the high number of yeses, there are 25% of the parents are saying there is not enough being done"
sought alternative ways, through partnerships (i.e. Reebok with the BOKS program)
collaboration, Franklin will help train the Y summer staff in some of the 'zones of regulation' so there will be consistent language used
track/field and wrestling are both non-cut sports
trying to meet the needs of kids either in the morning or after school
with different physical activities
