Student Health & Wellness Commitee
The Lemon Grove School District has a Student Health & Wellness Board Committee that meets quarterly to oversee initiatives that support students' well-being. The Committee's Purpose Statement states: "Promote the well-being of students in Pre-K – 8th grade by recognizing the correlation between their mental and physical health with their learning, as well as the effect of their community’s well-being on their learning and success in school."
The Student Health & Wellness Committee has three ongoing objectives:
|
Objective #1: Provide proactive and positive services and support to students to promote their physical, behavioral and social emotional skills and well-being. Objective #2: Provide effective training, resources and support to staff members in order for them to engage in building positive relationships with students and creating healthy learning spaces for all students. Objective #3: Provide opportunities for parents & guardians to learn about ways they can build their child’s physical, behavioral and social emotional skills and well-being in the home. |
For the 21-22 school year, the Student Health & Wellness Committee has prioritized three key focus areas that support these objectives: Healthy eating, expanding school gardens and increasing accessible resources at school sites for foster students and students experiencing housing insecurities.
Board Members that participate on the Student Health & Wellness Committee: Cheryl Robertson and Greg Shibley.
