Another one of the district’s goals is to improve the overall physical, mental, nutritional, and environmental wellness of our students.  A district-wide committee has been developed as well as committees in each building.  The first year of this initiative will focus on improving the food kids eat in the café.  We now have a salad bar option in each of our schools and have been encouraging the students to try it.  At our first wellness committee meeting, we completed a Healthy Schools Survey from the American Heart Association to gather baseline data which will be used by the district committee for future planning. 

The global connections initiative will involve students increasing their global awareness and understanding of different cultures through classroom experiences.  All students will participate in a global connections activity or project and establish a partnership with students in other states/countries using a form of technology.
